 Since her auto accident, Maria seems to have problems interacting with people. In fact, she sometimes doesn't seem to understand when people are angry or upset. She also never seems to be able to "get" jokes in spite of the fact that she is very intelligent. Given what you've learned in this chapter, what would you suggest might be going on with her? A) She may have an injury affecting her right hemisphere, which makes it difficult for her to understand other people's emotions. B) Her language function is now localized to her right hemisphere. C) She may have an injury affecting her left hemisphere, which makes her unable to understand other people. D) She may have damage to her cerebellum, which makes her unable to interpret emotions.
