Lateralization

= Definition: = The specialization of one of the cerebral hemispheres to handle a particular function. Gen Psych, CH 2, pp.49

Examples:
[ In 95 percent of humans, language functions that enable us to understand the meanings of words and the structure of sentences are carried out in the left hemisphere. studies of fetal responses to different kinds of sounds( i.e. language and music) show that this pattern is evident even before we are born.( de Lacoste, Horvath, & Eoodward, 1991)] media type="youtube" key="RLx4peoXqrw" height="315" width="420"media type="youtube" key="phIUBSEqxlQ" height="315" width="420" [] []
