Question

which of the following pairs is mismatched?
a frontal lobe—most anterior portion of the cerebrum
b parietal lobe—controls vision
c occipital lobe—most posterior portion of the cerebrum
d temporal lobe—controls hearing and smell

Explanation:

• The frontal lobe is indeed the most anterior part of the cerebrum.
• The occipital lobe is the most posterior part of the cerebrum.
• The temporal lobe is involved in processing hearing and smell.
• However, the parietal lobe is mainly involved in sensory perception (such as touch, pressure, pain, temperature) and spatial orientation, not vision. The occipital lobe controls vision.

Answer:

B. parietal lobe—controls vision
