Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cortex that is not involved in sensory or motor functions is referred to as association cortex. This cortex is responsible for higher cognitive functions, such as language, abstract thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making. The other options, extrastriate and cognitive, are not commonly used terms for this specific part of the cortex. Equipotentiality is a theory that suggests all parts of the cortex have equal potential for any function, which has been largely disproven.
