Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lateralization refers to the specialization of certain abilities (e.g. language processing in the left hemisphere, spatial reasoning in the right hemisphere) in each of the brain hemispheres. Ablation refers to the removal or destruction of a specific brain region, corticalization refers to the development of the cerebral cortex, and ambidextrous functionality refers to the ability to use both hands equally well. None of these choices fully capture the concept of specialization in brain hemispheres.
