Hemispheric Specialization Name ____________________________ While it is clear that most (if not all) behaviors require integrated functioning of both hemispheres of the brain, some behaviors primarily involve left or right hemispheric functioning.

Then explain your reasoning. (Note: several of the following behaviors CLEARLY involve both hemispheres, so you may want to designate those with an "L" and an "R") ______ Studying concepts from psychology ______ Drawing a map of the school campus ______ Daydreaming about getting into Harvard ______ Listening to a piano concert ______ Listening to rap music ______ Thinking about your hot date next Friday night ______ Reading your email ______ Doing a calculus problem ______ Redecorating your room ______ Doodling ______ Doing this homework assignment
