When Kimura, of the University of Western Ontario, presented stimuli like letters, words, faces, and music to research participants such that the stimuli arrived first in either the left or right hemisphere, she found that
A)hemispheric lateralization can be detected
B)the stimuli were too quickly and efficiently transferred to the other hemisphere to detect hemispheric lateralization
C)the hemisphere that received the stimuli first did not begin processing it until the other hemisphere had received it too
D)stimuli are processed equally in the left and right hemispheres

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kimura's research demonstrated that hemispheric lateralization, the idea that different functions or processes are more dominant in one hemisphere of the brain than the other, can indeed be detected based on how stimuli like letters, words, faces, and music are processed differently depending on which hemisphere they first arrive in.
