The functions of the cerebellum primarily include:
- **Voluntary movement**: The cerebellum is crucial for the coordination and fine-tuning of voluntary movements.
The other options listed are not primary functions of the cerebellum:
- **Perception of time**: While the cerebellum may play a role in timing and coordination related to movement, it is not primarily responsible for perception of time in a broader sense.
- **Heart rate**: This function is primarily managed by the autonomic nervous system and is regulated by structures in the brainstem, not the cerebellum.
- **Regulating emotions**: Emotional regulation is primarily associated with areas such as the limbic system, not the cerebellum.
So, the correct response is **voluntary movement**.
