A) slower;slower
B) slower;faster
C) faster;slower
D) faster;faster

Association Areas

Regions of the brain that integrate and process information from the sensory and motor areas to perform complex cognitive tasks.

Motor Areas

Regions of the brain involved in the planning, control, and execution of voluntary movements, predominantly located in the frontal lobes.

Higher-Order Processes

Cognitive operations that involve complex thinking, such as reasoning, decision making, problem solving, and planning.
