a. What does lateralization of cortical functioning mean? b. Why is the term cerebral dominance a misnomer?

Video transcript

Hello everyone and welcome to today's video. So, lateralization of cortical functioning refers to the specialization of the two cerebral hemispheres of the brain in performing certain cognitive functions in which of the following functions. The right cerebral hemisphere is specialized as answer choice A. We have language processing B logic and analytical thinking. C special processing D both A and B. Now let's go over each of these answer choices beginning by answer choices A and B. And the reason why we're going to look at these is because language processing in logic and analytical thinking have actually been mostly attached to the left hemisphere of the brain because of this, we're going to cancel them out because the question is asking us for the right cerebral hemisphere. Now moving on, we have C which is spatial processing, spatial processing has actually being attached to the right hemisphere of the brain. And this is going to include the perception of spatial relationships, object recognition and spatial memory. All of this is spatial processing. Now answer choice D states both AM B A and B we were able to cancel out. So we're going to cancel out answer choice D this is only leaving us with answer choice c spatial processing. As the final answer to this question, I really hope this helped you and I hope to see you on the next one.
