Homework:
Questions from the Strive for 5 Notebook:
1. What is lateralization, and why is it important in the way our brain functions.

3. Chart out Left Hemisphere Functions to Right Hemisphere Functions
4. Why do the tasks listed above lend themselves to the myth that we are "right" or "left"-brained? Using the information regarding the brain structures and association areas you learned in the last two modules, address why this myth is erroneous.
5. What role does the corpus callosum play in relation to the two hemispheres?
6. Using figures 13.2 and 13.3, and your knowledge of brain structures, explain step-by-step why Gazzaniga's patients were able to:
a. say the word "ART"
b. Point to the word "HE" with their left hand
7. What is the relationship between handedness and speech processing?
8. How does the split-brain research help us to understand the functions of our two brain hemispheres?
