Brain's Anatomy and Function While no one is really left-brained or right-brained only unless a hemisphere is damaged or removed, it is quite interesting to see how people test. Broad generalizations are made in popular psychology about certain functions on one side or the other. The brain ...

Twenty left hemisphere lesioned and 10 right hemisphere lesioned children between 6 and 20 years old were administered a battery of tests assessing phonetic analysis and segmentation, single word decoding, reading comprehension, and spelling.
