Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
Which of the following is NOT true of the brain's association areas?
Most intelligent animals have larger association areas.
Lower-level species have smaller association areas.
The association areas link sensory information with stored memories.
More intelligent animals have smaller association areas.
Answer:
More intelligent animals have smaller association areas.
Explanation:
The size of brain structures, including brain associations, is not the best way to determine animals that are more intelligent or not. Although most intelligent animals have larger brain associations, this is not a rule of nature. The size of the brain associations is very much related to the size of the brain structure itself, which is very much related to the size of the body structure and the composition of the organism. Although, in general, we cannot say that more intelligent animals have smaller areas of association.
