Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that the right hemisphere plays a supportive role in language comprehension and can compensate for damage to the left hemisphere, leading to increased language functions. However, it is not the primary area responsible for language production or comprehension. Divided visual field techniques have also shown limited involvement in language comprehension. Broca's and Wernicke's areas are primarily located in the left hemisphere.
