lateralized processing

Lateralized processing refers to the way our brain's two hemispheres (left and right) specialize in different functions. For example, the left side often handles language, reasoning, and analytical tasks, while the right side is more involved in spatial awareness, creativity, and recognizing faces. This specialization means that certain activities mainly activate one hemisphere more than the other. Lateralization helps the brain work efficiently by dividing tasks between the two sides, but both hemispheres work together to perform complex functions seamlessly.
