AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Language is considered to be one of the most lateralized human brain functions. Left hemisphere dominance for language has been consistently confirmed in clinical and experimental settings and constitutes one of the main axioms of neurology and neuroscience.

Detailed explanation-2: -In most people, areas related to language processing are located in the brain’s left hemisphere.

Detailed explanation-3: -In general, the left hemisphere or side of the brain is responsible for language and speech. Because of this, it has been called the “dominant” hemisphere. The right hemisphere plays a large part in interpreting visual information and spatial processing.

Detailed explanation-4: -Language is primarily localized in the left hemisphere. While the left hemisphere has proven to be more optimized for language, the right hemisphere has the capacity with emotions, such as sarcasm, that can express prosody in sentences when speaking.

Detailed explanation-5: -Abstract. In most people the left hemisphere of the brain is dominant for language. Because of the increased incidence of atypical right-hemispheric language in left-handed neurological patients, a systematic association between handedness and dominance has long been suspected.
