The Lobes
Captions available
The idea
The cortex has four lobes: frontal, for thinking, planning and judgment; parietal, for touch and space; temporal, for hearing and language; occipital, for vision.
In practice
A baby turning toward a voice, a temporal task, while reaching for a toy, a parietal one.
Where people slip
The prefrontal cortex, at the front of the frontal lobe, develops into early adulthood.
