Verified step by step guidance

Begin by understanding the role of the frontal lobes in the brain. The frontal lobes are crucial for higher cognitive functions and are involved in various complex processes.

Recognize that the association areas of the frontal lobes are responsible for integrating information from different parts of the brain. This integration is essential for complex decision-making processes.

Differentiate between the functions listed in the problem. Coordinating voluntary movements is primarily associated with the motor cortex, not the association areas of the frontal lobes.

Understand that regulating heart rate and breathing is controlled by the brainstem, specifically the medulla oblongata, rather than the frontal lobes.

Identify that processing sensory information is mainly the function of the sensory areas located in the parietal, occipital, and temporal lobes, rather than the frontal lobes. Therefore, the association areas of the frontal lobes are primarily involved in integrating information for decision making.
