Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The prompt asks about the neural basis for recognizing emotions expressed by others, and the supplied answer indicates the right hemisphere as the correct one.
First, since no answer options are present in the provided data, we cannot assess alternatives directly. In real test items, you would compare each option against neuropsychological evidence about emotion processing.
However, considering the known literature: the right hemisphere is widely implicated in social and emotional perception, including recognizing facial expressions, prosody, and affective cues. Lesions or damage to the right hemisphere often impair the ability to read emotions from faces and voices, even when language and basic perception are relatively intact.
If an option suggested involvement of the left hemisphere, it would be less consistent with the typical lateralization of affective processing, since language-dominant left hemisphere is more tied to semantic and grammatical processing rather than holistic emotional cue recognition.
Similarly, options focusing on generalized cognitive deficits without addressing affective perception would be insufficient to explain a selective impairment in recognizing others' emotions.
In short, damage to right-hemisphere networks that support emotion recognition would plausibly impair this ability, while other patterns of brain damage would not neatly account for a specific deficit in recognizing emotions expressed by others.
Note: due to the absence of explicit answer choices in this item, we cannot map reasoning to each distractor, but the core concept centers on the right hemisphere’s pivotal role in affective social perception.
