A)global structure / prosody
B)global structure / formants

D)local structure / formants

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The frequency hypothesis of hemispheric asymmetry proposes that the left hemisphere is specialized for processing local and fine-grained information such as formants in speech, while the right hemisphere is specialized for processing global and holistic information such as global structure in visual stimuli and prosody in speech. Therefore, lesions of the right hemisphere would disrupt perception of global structure in visual stimuli and prosody in speech, as stated in option A.
