31. Two-month-olds show a brain lateralization similar to that of adults when listening to speech. 32. Understanding lateralization of brain function is important for understanding what areas of the brain cause expressive aphasia when damaged. 33. This reduced lateralization correlates with more severe positive symptoms, such as hallucinations, as measured by the PANSS. 34. This is different from specialization as lateralization refers only to the function of one structure divided between two hemispheres. 35. This right hemisphere lateralization extends beyond prosody to many of aspects of language and speech processing in schizophrenic patients. 36. Some researchers have said that this lateralization is completed by age 7, and some have said by age 5. 37. There is some lateralization , the dorsal projections ( containing vertical data ) only project to the contralateral inferior colliculus. 38. The factors considered important to the relationship between brain size and intelligence were age, sex and hemispheric functional lateralization . 39. This hypothesis relies heavily on the theory of lateralization of brain function, or left brain vs . right brain theory. 40. The critical period hypothesis holds that first language acquisition must occur before cerebral lateralization completes, at about the age of puberty.
