Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The text states "From childhood, color labels appear to influence left-hemisphere processing of color information." This supports option C. Options A and B are incorrect as the text clearly states that color-labeling systems do have an effect on brain processing, contradicting the Whorfian hypothesis. Option D is incorrect as the text does not specify a particular age range for when color labels begin to have an effect on left-hemisphere processing - only that it is from childhood.
