Alfred is a middle-aged man. even though his eyes can physically see a car driving up to him, his brain is unable to interpret the information and move away in time. in this scenario, the area of alfred’s brain that is most likely damaged is the
The damaged part of Alfred's brain is the parietal lobe.
Parietal lobe is responsible for sensory strip location and info, calculations, reading, writing, drawing. It is also responsible in sending information to decision making areas of the brain.
Given that Alfred has perceived a car driving up to him, but cannot interpret it and cannot be able to move away, shows that his parietal lobe cannot function.
The occipital lobe is one of the four major lobes of the cerebral cortex. It is the visual processing centre as it also contains most of the anatomical region of the visual cortex. The occipital lobe has a prominent role in functions such as local orientation, spatial-frequency and the identification of color properties. It also allows us to identify the stimuli we are seeing and respond to these outside stimuli.
