TALENTS IN THE LEFT BRAIN
The Left "Human" brain
The following is a summary of talents found in the left brain. Each talent is a complex network of
different processes beyond what is mentioned here, but injuries or strokes in these areas would
result in serious loss of these specific talents.
Language Sounds Sound input in the human left brain is specialized for discriminating the
sounds of language. As children grow in the first few months, their sound patch in the temporal
lobe is hearing the sounds of people talking, and remembering that certain sound patterns
seem to always match certain objects and actions.
Humans can make very fine distinctions in sound, and therefore meaning. For example we can
distinguish the difference in sound of "sat" and "sad."
