Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by understanding the role of the cerebral cortex. The cerebral cortex is the outer layer of the brain involved in many complex functions such as perception, thought, and voluntary movement.
Identify the functions associated with the association areas of the cerebral cortex. These areas are responsible for integrating information from different sensory modalities and are involved in higher-order functions like thought, language, learning, memory, judgment, and personality.
Consider the function of balance. Balance is primarily regulated by the cerebellum, which is a different part of the brain responsible for coordinating movement and maintaining posture.
Compare the list of functions provided in the problem with the known functions of the association areas in the cerebral cortex. Thought, language, learning, memory, judgment, and personality are all functions associated with the cerebral cortex.
Conclude that balance is not regulated by the association areas in the cerebral cortex, as it is primarily a function of the cerebellum.
