Abstract

Broca's and Wernicke's discovery concerning brain language function remains debatable.The research questions: a) Is there a significant difference of accuracy among the rh, the lh, and the rh-lh in inferring auditory sentences?b) Which hemisphere shows the highest accuracy?and c) Do the rh, lh and rh-lh show consistent hemispheric accuracy when inferring sentences and short dialogs?The research results are useful for clarifying controversies against brain language function and as a foundation of "hemispheric-based listening".This study employed Behavioral Test with Post-test Only design.Sample involved 120 students.Data were collected through a test and analyzed with Two-way Anova.It is found that the hemispheric accuracy among the rh, lh and rh-lh in inferring auditory sentences is significantly different; the lh shows the highest accuracy in inferring auditory sentences; and the rh, lh and rh-lh show inconsistent hemispheric accuracy when inferring sentences and short dialogs.
