AP Psychology
Unit 2 – Biological Basis of Behavior
Topic 2.6
What counterargument could challenge the traditional perspective that the left hemisphere is dominant for language tasks?
New discoveries indicate that neither hemisphere is involved in language processing.
Recent research confirms all humans use only their left hemisphere for language.
Some evidence suggests both hemispheres may contribute to various aspects of language processing.
Studies now show right hemisphere controls all aspects of language and communication, not left.
