Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The specialization in function of the hemispheres of the cerebrum is commonly referred to as lateralization. The left hemisphere is specialized for language and analytical thinking, while the right hemisphere is specialized for spatial perception and creative thinking. This is a well-documented phenomenon in neuroscience. Compartmentalization and hemispherization are not commonly used terms in this context, and while specialization is a valid term, it is broader and can refer to other types of specialization outside of the brain.
