One advantage to studying cerebral laterality from an information-processing perspective rather than a task-based perspective is that the information-processing approach
A)is a less parsimonious approach to describing laterality effects.
B)focuses on how each hemisphere works independently of the other.
C)emphasizes that the two hemispheres may work in concert to perform a task.
D)minimizes the role of evolution in hemispheric specialization.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The information-processing approach emphasizes that the two hemispheres may work in concert to perform a task, which allows for a more nuanced understanding of cerebral laterality compared to a task-based approach that focuses on lateralization of specific tasks or functions. This approach acknowledges that hemispheric specialization is not fixed but is flexible and dynamic depending on task demands and individual variability.
