Lateralization
Captions available
The idea
Lateralization is the tendency for some functions to be handled more by one cerebral hemisphere than the other.
In practice
In most right-handed people, language production depends more heavily on the left hemisphere.
Where people slip
Lateralization is a difference in degree. No mental function runs in one hemisphere alone.
