Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Activity in the right prefrontal cortex is associated with self-referent encoding, which involves processing information in relation to oneself. This is different from semantic encoding, which involves processing the meaning of words, and syllabic encoding, which involves processing the sounds of words. Reading is a general cognitive task and is not specific to the right prefrontal cortex.
