Broca's area in the left frontal lobe controls:

  • A Vision processing, relayed from the occipital lobe
  • B Speech production (motor speech)
  • C Hearing, processed primarily in the temporal lobe
  • D Memory only, consolidated in the hippocampus

Correct answer: B. Speech production (motor speech)

Explanation: Broca's area (left inferior frontal gyrus): controls speech production. Damage causes Broca's aphasia -- can understand but cannot produce fluent speech.

Concept context

Brain, spinal cord, neurons, reflex arcs, and sense organs.
