Question

True or false: the left hemisphere of the cerebral cortex is better on tasks involving nonverbal processing – such as most spatial, musical and visual recognition tasks.

Answer 1

False! The right brain hemisphere is responsible for visual recognition tasks.

Answer 2

False.

The right hemisphere is typically associated with non-verbal tasks such as spatial, musical, and visual recognition. The left hemisphere involves verbal tasks, such as language and reading. You are said to be "right-brained" if you are stronger in mathematical subjects and concepts, and "left-brained" if stronger in linguistics.
