    • Lateralisation refers to the specialization of functions in each hemisphere of the brain
    • What primary functions does the left hemisphere control?
      Language, logic, sequential thinking
    • The right hemisphere focuses on spatial reasoning, creativity, and emotional intelligence
    • Artistic expression and facial recognition are primarily managed by the right hemisphere.
    • Match the hemisphere with its primary functions:
      Left Hemisphere ↔️ Language, Logic, Sequential Thinking
      Right Hemisphere ↔️ Spatial Reasoning, Creativity, Emotional Intelligence
    • Lateralisation refers to the specialization of functions in each hemisphere of the brain
    • The left hemisphere primarily controls language, logic, and sequential thinking.
    • What cognitive functions are managed by the right hemisphere?
      Spatial reasoning, creativity, emotional intelligence
    • What is an example of a task managed by the left hemisphere?
      Language skills, writing
    • The right hemisphere focuses on spatial reasoning, creativity, and emotional intelligence
    • The right hemisphere is responsible for artistic expression and facial recognition.
    • What is an example of a task managed by the right hemisphere?
      Artistic expression, facial recognition
    • Match the hemisphere with its primary functions:
      Left Hemisphere ↔️ Language, Logic, Sequential Thinking
      Right Hemisphere ↔️ Spatial Reasoning, Creativity, Emotional Intelligence
    • What language skills are primarily managed by the left hemisphere?
      Speaking, writing
    • The right hemisphere focuses on spatial reasoning, creativity, and emotional intelligence
    • Facial recognition is predominantly handled by the right hemisphere.
    • What does hemispheric dominance refer to?
      Preference of one hemisphere
    • Steps involved in split-brain research:
      1️⃣ Sever the corpus callosum
      2️⃣ Study how hemispheres function independently
      3️⃣ Present information to one hemisphere
      4️⃣ Observe how split-brain patients respond
    • In split-brain patients, information presented to one hemisphere cannot be accessed by the other.
    • Individuals with left hemisphere damage may struggle with language
    • Match the hemisphere with the implications of lateralisation:
      Left Hemisphere ↔️ Language and logic deficits with damage
      Right Hemisphere ↔️ Spatial reasoning and creativity deficits with damage
    • What is an example of a language deficit caused by left hemisphere damage?
      Aphasia after left hemisphere stroke
    • Damage to the right hemisphere can result in deficits in spatial reasoning and creativity
    • Understanding lateralisation can inform our knowledge of brain plasticity and compensation mechanisms.
    • Understanding lateralisation can inform our knowledge of brain plasticity
    • What does lateralisation refer to in neuroscience?
      Specialization of brain hemispheres
    • The left hemisphere primarily controls language, logic, and sequential thinking
    • Which hemisphere of the brain is responsible for spatial reasoning, creativity, and emotional intelligence?
      Right hemisphere
    • Match the hemisphere with its primary functions:
      Left hemisphere ↔️ Language, Logic, Sequential Thinking
      Right hemisphere ↔️ Spatial Reasoning, Creativity, Emotional Intelligence
    • The left hemisphere manages language skills like speaking and writing.
    • What is the primary focus of the right hemisphere in cognitive processing?
      Spatial reasoning
    • The left hemisphere of the brain primarily controls language, logic, and sequential thinking
    • Which hemisphere is predominantly responsible for artistic expression and facial recognition?
      Right hemisphere
    • Match the hemisphere with its primary functions:
      Left hemisphere ↔️ Language, Logic, Sequential Thinking
      Right hemisphere ↔️ Spatial Reasoning, Creativity, Emotional Intelligence
    • Hemispheric dominance refers to the equal specialization of both hemispheres for all functions.
      False
    • What does the term "hemispheric dominance" describe in neuroscience?
      Preference for cognitive functions
    • Split-brain research involves severing the corpus callosum
    • Who conducted key studies on split-brain patients to reveal hemispheric specialization?
      Sperry and Gazzaniga
    • If an object is shown to the right hemisphere, the patient can visually identify it but cannot name it verbally
    • Split-brain research demonstrates the functional independence of the two hemispheres in cognitive processes.
