A brain tumor has slowly robbed mr. schneider of his ability to recognize objects by touch. the tumor is probably centered in his _____(blank) lobe.

Mr. Schneider here could be diagnosed with Astereognosis, or the inability to recognize by touch. this is cause by a lesion or damage to the Pareital lobe of the patient, or the dorsal column. This could affect only one of the hands, or both hands.

I believe the answer is parietal lobe
parietal lobe had to function to integrate both sensory information that derived from touch and our visual system.
A tumor that pressed in parietal lobe will destroy this integration and caused the person to unable to recognize objects that they see or touch.
