It makes sense. Grammatical language is an efficient established procedure to enhance communication within a socially complex species, so it's not surprising that considerable left hemisphere space is devoted to it. Dependent infants use whatever non-verbal communication skills they can creatively muster to get needed help, but then happily spend much of their childhood mastering the much more efficient existing cultural language template that's passed from generation to generation.

Learning thus begins with right hemisphere exploration, something often ignored in schools that give students answers to questions they didn't ask. They thus learn the answer, but don't really understand the question (or challenge).

What occurs within the various processing systems of one brain that's confronting a novel challenge has an intriguing parallel within a group of brains. Imagine a committee charged with resolving a novel organizational challenge. They must determine its dynamics and then agree on a solution. We typically use the term brainstorming to describe what they initially do, and it's akin to what occurs within our right hemisphere's sensory/frontal lobe processing systems.

In brainstorming all ideas are initially acceptable, but the discussion will eventually converge on a smaller number of viable explanations and proposals, and finally on a decision. It doesn't have to be the best decision, just something workable that can achieve consensus. The discussion and decision are then recorded in the minutes (or by extension, stored in our memory or saved to disk).

When a similar problem emerges later, the record is retrieved and edited to meet any different circumstances, and those decisions are then saved. This process continues until the committee creates a policy it will automatically follow whenever this problem or a close variant occurs.

Think about your own thought processes when confronting a novel challenge, and you can almost sense your brain's processing systems trying to make up their collective mind.
