Which statement describes a research finding that demonstrates the functional lateralization of the brain that is involved in la
nguage processing? a. Three-month-olds show greater activity in the left hemisphere when listening to normal speech than when listening to reversed speech or silence. b. Newborns suck pacifiers more intensely to hear their mother's voice read a story, rather than a stranger read a story. c. Sixth-month-olds can differentiate speech sounds of all the world's languages, but adults cannot do so. d. 12-month-olds prefer to listen to their native language than to a foreign language.
The correct answer is option a. "Three-month-olds show greater activity in the left hemisphere when listening to normal speech than when listening to reversed speech or silence".
Explanation:
The functional lateralization of the brain is defined as the inclination of using one side of the brain in particular for certain neural functions or cognitive processes. Researches focused in demonstrating the functional lateralization of the brain study the activity of the hemispheres of the brain in people performing particular neural functions or cognitive processes. Therefore, an example of a finding in this regard is the following: three-month-olds show greater activity in the left hemisphere when listening to normal speech than when listening to reversed speech or silence.
The Second Law of Thermodynamics is about the quality of energy. It states that as energy is transferred or transformed, more and more of it is wasted. The Second Law also states that there is a natural tendency of any isolated system to degenerate into a more disordered state
