Lateralization

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Lateralization is the tendency for some functions to be handled more by one cerebral hemisphere than the other.

Show

In most right-handed people, language production depends more heavily on the left hemisphere.

Watch for

Lateralization is a difference in degree. No mental function runs in one hemisphere alone.
