Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement describes the function of association areas, which are large parts of the cerebral cortex that are not dedicated to specific sensory or motor functions but rather the integration and processing of sensory and motor information. Secondary cortex areas are not a commonly recognized term for cortical regions. The limbic system is a separate system involved in emotion processing and memory formation. Broca's and Wernicke's areas are specific regions associated with language processing. Therefore, the best answer is B) association areas.
