referring to the specialization in certain functions by each side of the brain,with one side dominant for each activity. The left side of the brain controls the right side of the body and vice versa
Lateralization.:)
lateralization.
Signs of lateralization are clearly present at birth.
Lateralization refers to the function of the left or right sides of the brain.
Brain lateralization begins to develop in infancy and continues throughout childhood. It is mostly completed by early adulthood, around the ages of 20-25. However, some studies suggest that further refinement and changes in lateralization can occur into later adulthood.

Hemisphere lateralization
Lateralization refers to the unequal distribution of cognitive functions between the left and right hemispheres of the brain. This specialization can influence various aspects of behavior, such as language processing, emotion regulation, and motor control. For example, damage to specific areas in one hemisphere can lead to deficits in certain functions, highlighting the importance of lateralization in shaping behavior.
Lateralization
This is a term that generally relates to the two hempispheres of the brain, with lateralization describing the brain's tendancy to make the two hempispheres specalize in controlling different functions. (Definition courtessy of Nazia Ahmed)
Lateralization. This refers to the division of cognitive functions between the two hemispheres of the brain, with each hemisphere being specialized for certain tasks such as language processing, spatial awareness, and emotional regulation.
The process is called hemispheric specialization, where different regions of the brain become more specialized for certain functions. This leads to the development of lateralization, where each hemisphere becomes more dominant for specific cognitive functions such as language processing or spatial awareness. This process typically occurs during childhood and adolescence as new neural connections are formed and refined.
