Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has consistently shown that the right hemisphere plays a more dominant role in spatial tasks, such as mental rotation, navigating through space, and recognizing faces. The left hemisphere is more involved in language and logical reasoning. Fine motor coordination is not necessarily dominated by one hemisphere. Mathematics and logical reasoning show a somewhat equal contribution from both hemispheres.
