The main part of the brain is called the cerebral cortex. The cerebral cortex is divided into four sections: the frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital lobe. The temporal lobe controls the body's temperature, memory, and speech. It is located on the sides of the brain, above the

ears. The Parietal lobe is mostly associated with movement, and recognition. This lobe is located on the top of the brain. The Occipital lobe is a lobe that a lot of people have problems with, it is in charge of vision. In most cases signals are not sent or received correctly to this part of the brain, it is located at the back of the brain. All of these lobes are important for a person to function normally but the largest and most important lobe is associated with: movement, lobe is the Frontal lobe. The Frontal

and character. It is located on the front part of the brain, hence the name Frontal Lobe (Myers).

The spectators who can identify what happened, spectators who can identify the two girls in detail, and the most common, the spectators who think they know what happened and can identify them. Multitasking is not a real thing the mind either focuses on one detail of the situation correctly incorrectly.
