Define the TERM 'lateralization' and describe some of the principal lateralized functions, such as speech and mental rotation (a really good answer will cite more specific examples and other functions). The ESSAY should describe how such lateralization is measured (brain injury, neuroimaging, invasive techniques such as the WADA test, visual field studies, colostomy, ETC.) and how successful these measures are in lateralizing FUNCTION. The second part of the answer should describe and evaluate the various hypotheses of lateralization and its evolution.
