Lateralization of Function
• Each hemisphere of the brain gets input from the opposite half of the visual world.

Lateralization of Function
• Damage to the corpus callosum interferes with the exchange of information between hemispheres.

Lateralization of Function
• Immediately after surgery, each hemisphere can only quickly and accurately respond to information that reaches it directly. – Smaller commissures allow a slower
response.• The brain later learns use the smaller
connections:• Difficulty integrating information between both
remains.

Evolution and Physiology of Language
• Two categories of theories • 1. “Language evolved as a by-product of
overall brain development.”
2. “Language evolved as an extra part of the brain.”
![Page 28: Chapter 14: Cognitive Functions. Lateralization of Function Lateralization](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081418/56649d7e5503460f94a6110f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Evolution and Physiology of Language
• Problems associated with the “language as a by-product of increased intelligence” theory:
1. People with a full-size brain and normal overall intelligence can show severe language deficits.
2. People with impaired intelligence can have normal language skills.• Williams syndrome characterized by
metal retardation but skillful use of language.

• Dyslexia
![Page 40: Chapter 14: Cognitive Functions. Lateralization of Function Lateralization](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081418/56649d7e5503460f94a6110f/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Evolution and Physiology of Language
• Different kinds of dyslexics have different reading problems.
• “Dysphonic dyslexics”
• “Dyseidetic dyslexics”
![Page 41: Chapter 14: Cognitive Functions. Lateralization of Function Lateralization](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081418/56649d7e5503460f94a6110f/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Evolution and Physiology of Language
• Most severe cases of “dyseidetic dyslexia” result from brain damage that restricts the field of vision.

Evolution and Physiology of Language
• One hypothesis to explain dyslexia emphasizes a hearing impairment rather than visual impairment.
![Page 43: Chapter 14: Cognitive Functions. Lateralization of Function Lateralization](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081418/56649d7e5503460f94a6110f/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Evolution and Physiology of Language
• Another hypothesis to explain dyslexia is connecting vision to sound.

Evolution and Physiology of Language
• A final hypothesis relates dyslexia to differences in attention.
