Topic 2.8
In what way does lateralization impact cognitive function?
Certain cognitive functions are predominantly controlled by one hemisphere of the brain over the other.
Lateralization inhibits communication between two hemispheres leading to decreased cognitive abilities.
Cognitive functions are evenly distributed across both hemispheres without any dominance.
Lateralization results in both hemispheres performing identical functions simultaneously.
