What is a focal lesion on the temporal lobe?
Distinct damage to one area of the brain. The temporal lobe of the brain has many functions. Some of which: hearing and language processing and facial recognition. Depending on which hemisphere (right v. left) the damage occurs, the person can have many deficits in communication (esp. if on the dominant hemisphere, left for most people).
