The left hemisphere of the brain contains regions that are:
A) associated with negative emotions, such as fear and sadness
B) active when language is processed
C) associated with the tendency to
withdraw from others
D) active during the creation of art
and music
I chose B
There are four choices here. Three of them have to do with emotions and synthesis (creating things or ideas). One deals with sequence and analysis (in this case, language). You can only choose one....
Well when you put it that way I think my answer choice is correct. Thank you for the clarification
I think B too....
The left hemisphere of the brain is indeed active when language is processed. To understand why, we need to know a little bit about brain lateralization.
The human brain is divided into two hemispheres, the left and the right, which have distinct functions. This division of labor between the hemispheres is known as brain lateralization. In most individuals, the left hemisphere is specialized for processing language, while the right hemisphere is involved in other functions such as spatial awareness and visual processing.
Through research and brain imaging techniques, scientists have found that language-related areas, such as Broca's area and Wernicke's area, are primarily located in the left hemisphere. These regions are responsible for language comprehension and production, respectively. When we read, write, speak, or listen to language, these areas in the left hemisphere become more active.
So, in summary, the correct statement is option B) The left hemisphere of the brain is active when language is processed.
