Question

language and verbal skills tend to be _________ side of the brain of right-handed people (concentrated on the right, concentrated on the left, equally distributed between left and right, randomly located with respect to left or right)

Answer 1

Language and verbal skills are primarily concentrated on the left side of the brain in right-handed individuals, although no hemisphere exclusively controls any function and many are globally distributed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Language and verbal skills tend to be concentrated on the left side of the brain of right-handed people. While there are instances of language functions being affected by damage to the right hemisphere, affecting understanding of figurative language and nonverbal cues, the left hemisphere is primarily responsible for language in 95% of the population. This lateralization of brain function is often misrepresented in the oversimplified notion of being "right-brained" or "left-brained". In reality, although there is a concentration of specific functions, such as language and spatial reasoning, on one side, no hemisphere has a monopoly, and many functions are distributed across both sides of the cerebrum.
