Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that language processing is primarily localized in the left hemisphere of the brain, which means that auditory input presented to the right ear is more efficiently processed by the left hemisphere. Therefore, Chase will likely recognize words more quickly by putting the earphone in his right ear, which will send the auditory input to his left hemisphere for processing.
