The pattern of cerebral asymmetry refers to the pattern of responding in which the right prefrontal cortex shows _____ and the left prefrontal cortex shows _____.
A) greater activation with positive affect; greater activation with negative affect
B) lesser activation with positive affect; lesser activation with negative affect
C) greater activation with negative affect; greater activation with positive affect
D) lesser activation with negative affect; lesser activation with positive affect

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pattern of cerebral asymmetry states that the left prefrontal cortex is associated with positive affect, while the right prefrontal cortex is associated with negative affect. Therefore, greater activation is expected in the left prefrontal cortex with positive affect and in the right prefrontal cortex with negative affect, as stated in option C.

The Pattern of Cerebral Asymmetry Refers to the Pattern of Responding
