Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A content-based account of brain specialization suggests that different brain regions are specialized for specific types of information processing, as opposed to a domain-general account which proposes that the brain uses the same processes for all types of information. The mention of "visuospatial and verbal information" suggests that this hypothesis is focused on specific content (visual and verbal) rather than general processes. The terms "process-general" and "process-based" imply a focus on processes rather than content, so they are not the best choice.
