PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -Some people have had the hemispheres of their brains split with no apparent ill effect. Hearing people usually use the left hemisphere of the brain to process language, and deaf people usually use the left hemisphere to process sign language.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plasticity: the brain’s ability to change, especially during childhood, by reorganizing after damage or by building new pathways based on experience. Example: if a blind person uses one finger to read Braille, the brain area dedicated to that finger expands as the sense of touch invades the visual cortex.

Detailed explanation-3: -What might be a reason that a person might not see an advantage for her or his left hemisphere in this experiment? The task was so easy that neither response time nor accuracy varied between the conditions.
