Question

lill has a head injury following a fall on her skateboard. the doctor said that she has injury to the frontal lobe of her brain. what among the following may be an outcome of this injury for lill?
a. she may have difficulty with voluntary movement.
b. she may have difficulty articulating speech.
c. she may have trouble seeing.
d. she may have difficulty with complex reasoning.

Explanation:

The frontal lobe of the brain is primarily associated with higher cognitive functions, including complex reasoning, decision-making, and executive functions. Voluntary movement is linked to the motor cortex (part of the frontal lobe, but the option here is better matched by other lobe functions for the other choices), speech articulation is controlled by Broca's area (a specific frontal region, but complex reasoning is a core broad function of the frontal lobe), and vision is associated with the occipital lobe. Thus, complex reasoning difficulty is a key outcome of frontal lobe injury.

Answer:

d. She may have difficulty with complex reasoning.
