A very common problematic assumption, often referred to as a neuromyth, is brain laterality, or
in other words left brain vs. right brain. The idea behind the neuromyth is that two brain
hemispheres are responsible for different processes. It comes from a true fact that a human brain
is divided into two hemispheres, left and right connected by corpus callosum, a thick layer of
cells. Each hemisphere is then divided into four lobes: the frontal, parietal, occipital and
temporal. Each of them is responsible for different cognitive functions:
Occipital Lobe – visual processing,
Parietal Lobe – information processing, calculation,
Temporal Lobe – sound and speech processing, auditory skills, aspects of memory
Frontal Lobe – reasoning, thinking, conceptualization, planning, movement.
