The statement describes hemispheric specialization, which refers to the different functions that each hemisphere of the brain is specialized for. Option A (brain corticalization) refers to the wrinkling of the brain's surface, which is also related to division of labor between different brain regions. Option B (spatial lateralization) is not a term commonly used in psychology or neuroscience. Option D (peripheral localization) refers to the concept of how the body's sensory organs are represented in different areas of the brain, which is not directly related to the given statement.
