The temporal lobe of the brain is responsible for object recognition, including face/person recognition. It also supports higher order cognition involving categories and abstract concepts. The medial temporal lobe houses the hippocampus and surrounding areas which are necessary for memory formation.

A good example would be when you see your mom, you know to call her your mom because you recognize your mom, your memory tells you it's your mom, and you say the words that are stored in your brain- "Hi Mom!". Most of this just occured because of the TL.
