Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hemispheric lateralization refers to the idea that different functions are localized in different regions of the brain, with the two hemispheres (left and right) playing different roles. Studies have shown that the left hemisphere is generally more involved in language processing, including metaphor comprehension. In particular, the left frontal region appears to play an important role in understanding the figurative meaning of metaphors.
