Miriam is a logical thinker who can solve mathematical problems, but she is not good at remembering faces or tunes. What might explain this?

Logical reasoning and mathematical problem-solving are commonly associated with the left hemisphere, while recognizing faces and tunes is often associated with the right hemisphere. Miriam’s strengths and difficulties may therefore reflect stronger left-hemisphere functioning than right-hemisphere functioning. The choices about northern and southern hemispheres do not describe the usual brain lateralization distinction.
