【 摘 要 】

Most people are right-handed and left-cerebrally dominant for language and this brain dissymmetry has been based on “which” type of information each hemisphere controls (Corballis, 2012): In general terms, the left hemisphere (LH) is usually specialized in auditory information, specially linguistic stimuli, whereas the right hemisphere (RH) would be specialized in visuo-spatial information. In another approach, brain dissymmetry depends on “how” each hemisphere processes information: While the RH would process the visual spatial data in a more global, simultaneous and holistic way, the LH would process the linguistic data in a more analytic, sequential and serial manner.
