AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The lateralization of brain function (or hemispheric dominance/ latralisation) is the tendency for some neural functions or cognitive processes to be specialized to one side of the brain or the other.

Detailed explanation-2: -One half of the cerebrum, the part of the brain that controls muscle functions and also controls speech, thought, emotions, reading, writing, and learning. The right hemisphere controls the muscles on the left side of the body, and the left hemisphere controls the muscles on the right side of the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hemispheric lateralization is the idea that each hemisphere is responsible for different functions. Each of these functions are localized to either the right or left side.

Detailed explanation-4: -There is evidence of specialization of function-referred to as lateralization-in each hemisphere, mainly regarding differences in language functions. The left hemisphere controls the right half of the body, and the right hemisphere controls the left half of the body.

Detailed explanation-5: -In neuroscience, functional specialization is a theory which suggests that different areas in the brain are specialized for different functions.
