Question

1. a person is blindfolded and handed a cotton ball. the person is unable to identify what the object is until the blindfold is removed. it is likely the person has damage to which lobe of the brain?

frontal lobe

parietal lobe

temporal lobe

occipital lobe

Explanation:

The inability to recognize an object by touch (astereognosis) when blindfolded is associated with damage to the parietal lobe, which processes somatosensory information and tactile recognition. The frontal lobe is linked to executive function, the temporal lobe to auditory processing/memory, and the occipital lobe to visual processing, which is not the issue here since the person could identify the object visually once the blindfold was removed.

Answer:

C. parietal lobe
