Carer Information Needs Following a Family Member's Right Hemisphere Stroke
… research on information needs of carers with right hemisphere disorder (RHD). RHD describes cognitive and communication impairments a person experiences following a right hemisphere stroke or brain injury. Carers have an important role in rehabilitation and the long-term quality of life of a …

Current Practices of Speech-Language Pathologists for Those with Right Hemisphere Damage
… who have developed deficits associated with right hemisphere brain damage after a stroke. Currently licensed SLPs were recruited via online resources and were directed to a link containing a survey that targeted their most common tools for assessment, most common treatment approaches, the …

Right Hemisphere Activation to Rotary Stress in High and Low Hostile Men
… systems based model that posits a role for the right frontal region in regulation of sympathetic tone after stress. The experiment builds upon prior work illustrating the utility of this model to stress by positing mild dizziness as a potential frontal lobe stressor demonstrating hostility group …

Right hemisphere decline in the perception of emotion as a function of aging
The hypothesis that the right cerebral hemisphere declines more quickly than the left cerebral hemisphere in the normal aging process was tested in two studies using a facial recognition and a response time task. In Study 1, subjects (N=60) were asked to identify facial affect fram 50 standardized …

Right Hemisphere Theory and The Valence Theory: A Closer Look at How Gender Infleunces Emotional Processing
… words in one of four different colours to the right visual field or the left visual field. Participants had to indicate the colour that each word was printed in. Participants were more accurate at indicating the colour of negative words relative to other words. There were no significant main …

Dynamic Fluctuations in Emotion and Space Representation: A Functional Cerebral Systems Approach to Right Hemisphere Dysfunction
… expressed, and regulated largely by the right hemisphere. Furthermore, there is evidence from experimental paradigms and clinical case reports to suggest that the same hemisphere plays a dominant role in the processing of external space. A conceptual difficulty of clinical and neural …

Functional and oncological outcomes after right hemisphere glioma resection in awake versus asleep patients: a systematic review and meta‐analysis
El hemisferio derecho ha sido subestimado al considerarse como el hemisferio no dominante. Sin embargo, participa en muchas funciones, incluido el movimiento, el lenguaje, la cognición y las emociones. Por lo tanto, debido a que las lesiones de este lado generalmente no se resecan mediante mapeo …

Individual Differences in Emotional Awareness and the Lateralized Processing of Emotion
Right hemisphere dysfunction as well as an interhemispheric deficit were indicated by the behavior of early attentional (P100) and later semantic (N400, P300) components in the High Alexithymic (HA) group. Many of these effects were emotion-specific, but some were not. A P100 selective attention …

Target detection in left and right hemispace
… processing has been considered the domain of the right hemisphere(e.g., Milner, 1974; Sperry, 1974). Recent research however, suggests that both hemispheres may play a role in analyzing spatial information with each contributing in a different manner (e.g., Robertson & Lamb, 1991). Five …

Hemisphere differences in idiom comprehension: The influence of ambiguity, transparancy, and familiarity
… (Gibbs, 1999). Recent finding suggest that the right hemisphere may have an advantage when readers comprehend language that must be understood figuratively (McDonald, 200). However, it is currently unclear how idioms are processed in the right and left hemispheres. It is possible that not all …

The face is the thing: faces as a whole are responsible for the lateralization of visual perceptual facial processing
… display asymmetries favoring either the left or right hemisphere of the brain. Among these tasks are judgments of facial features, emotion, numerosity, facial resemblance, gender, and line midpoint. Verbal tasks typically display a left hemisphere bias whereas spatial tasks typically display a …

An investigation of arousal and verbal and spatial affective stimuli with cerebrovascular accidents patients
This study investigated the differences between right and left hemisphere brain damaged (BD) patients and controls in response to verbal and spatial-affective stimuli. The three null hypotheses explored in this study were: (a) Right hemisphere BD patients would not display significantly different …

Hemispheric reactivity to bright light exposure: a test of the relationship between age, hemi-activation and depression
… suggests that a relative decrease in left hemisphere activation is associated with depression, while a decrease of right hemisphere activation is associated with age. Recent research, however, has demonstrated the role of the right hemisphere in maintaining general behavioral arousal. Pilot …

Lateralization of Emotion, Reaction Time, and Skin Conductance Responsiveness
… time and speeded accuracy data did not support right hemisphere hypothesis (RHH) or valence hypothesis (VH) in the expected manner. Data suggested emotion caused greater interference under speeded conditions in the right hemisphere (RH) than in the left hemisphere (LH) for strongly right handed …

Acquired brain injury and the unraveling of theory of mind: exploring the role of personality change and spatial cognition
… egocentrism), and Theory of Mind (ToM) following right hemisphere dysfunction (RHD) due to Acquired Brain Injury (ABI). Given the critical role of the right hemisphere in social and emotional behavior, this research focuses on understanding the connection between ToM and personality alterations, …

Neuropsychological Impairment in Women Alcoholics
… it was expected that abilities associated with right hemisphere functioning (nonverbal, abstract) would be affected by alcoholism while those skills associated with the left hemisphere (verbal) would not.

Predictive utility of neuropsychological measures and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) in the classification of cerebral perfusion deficits in dementia of the Alzheimer type (DAT)
… if DAT patients categorized as having left hemisphere, right hemisphere, diffuse, or an absence of perfusion deficits, as measured by SPECT, would be accurately grouped into their respective categories, and if they would exhibit the corresponding neuropsychological deficiencies usually …

Neuronale Kooperationsprozesse während der Verarbeitung figurativer Sprache : eine EEG-Kohärenzanalyse
… of figurative language involves parts of the right hemisphere in addition to the language areas in the left hemisphere (e.g. Bottini et al., 1994). Nevertheless, the importance of both the left and the right hemisphere for processing figurative language is still not clear. Moreover, the time …

Functional cerebral asymmetry: a test of the selective activational model
… were designed to selectively prime each cerebral hemisphere to evaluate Kinsbourne's selective activation model. The left hemisphere priming manipulation for both experiments was subvocal rehearsal of neutral words, whereas right hemisphere primes consisted of imagery (Experiment 1) and subvocal …
