AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The right hemisphere of the brain processes information intuitively. It focuses on the visual and is responsible for attention. It processes from the whole picture to details. The right hemisphere’s functions include spatial perception and seeing possibilities in situations.

Detailed explanation-2: -Our brains have two sides, or hemispheres. In most people, language skills are in the left side of the brain. The right side controls attention, memory, reasoning, and problem solving.

Detailed explanation-3: -Our results indicate that general competence in nonverbal communication does indeed rely more on the integrity of the right cerebral hemisphere than the left, and that it is the evaluation of facial expressions in particular that is most strongly laterahzed to the right hemisphere.

Detailed explanation-4: -The right hemisphere plays a special role in the spatial localization of stimuli. This effect has been demonstrated for both visual and auditory stimuli. With regard to determination of spatial orientation of objects in space, the most severe deficits have been noted after posterior right hemisphere damage.
