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 …

Cerebral asymmetry in facial affect perception of women: neuropsychological effects of depression
… study of the influence of depression on the cerebral hemispheric processing of Ekman and Friesen’s (1976) happy, sad, and neutral emotional faces. A dynamometer was also used as a standardized measure of hemispheric motor functioning such as hand grip strength, perseveration, and fatigue. …

The effect of television viewing on college students : an EEG analysis of cerebral asymmetry
… that while there were no differences between cerebral hemispheres, there were significant increases in the amount of alpha brain .wave production (p <. 01) during the trials.</p> <p>The results of this study support the first hypothesis that "EEG alpha levels will increase with repeated …

Some aspects of cerebral asymmetry in schizophrenia /// За някои измерения на мозъчната асиметрия при шизофрения
С понятието мозъчна асиметрия се обобщават анатомичните, неврохимичните и физиологичните различия между двете хемисфери. През последните 10-15 години е съсредоточен значителен изследователски интерес върху теории, които свързват патогенезата на психозите с аномална церебрална доминантност, като се …

The Auditory Affective Verbal Learning test: peripheral arousal correlates and implications for the lateralized priming of dichotic prosody identification
… AAVL in the production of peripheral arousal and cerebral asymmetry correlates of emotion. Experiment 1 assessed the utility of the AAVL in the induction of physiological arousal. Sixty-three right-handed male undergraduates participated in the study. It was anticipated that affective verbal …

Emotion and psychopathy: a three-component analysis
… to emotional stimuli. However, with respect to cerebral asymmetry, psychopaths failed to show relative right frontal activation during exposure to the disgust film. This result is discussed in relation to recent attempts to explain psychopathy in terms of lateralized cerebral dysfunction.

The Dynamic Cerebral Laterality Effect: Group Differences in Hostility, Cardiovascular Regulation, and Sensory Recognition
… tested two hypotheses linking the right cerebral regulation of hostility and cardiovascular arousal. First, replication of previous research supporting heightened cardiovascular (systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and heart rate) reactivity among high hostile participants …

The neurobehavioral correlates of affect perception as a function of verbal fluency classification
… by Bryden and MacCrae (1989) was used to assess cerebral asymmetry for propositional and nonpropositional speech as a function of verbal fluency. Forty-five right-handed subjects with normal auditory acuity for pure tones were assigned to a verbal fluency classification based on scores on the FAS …

Time Estimation And Hand Preference
… as a possible causal mechanism. If there is cerebral asymmetry in time perception, namely if one hemisphere is more competent regarding time perception, accuracy in judging duration should be higher for the contralateral hand. The results of the present study indicated that there are no …

A Neurophysiological Approach to Differentiate Core Disgust and Moral Disgust
… It was hypothesized that there would be similar cerebral asymmetry, heart rate, and heart rate variability patterns between contamination-related core disgust and bodily moral disgust and between anger and non-bodily moral disgust. Although the results of this study did not fully support these …

Dynamic Effects of Stress and Hostility: Group Differences in Cardiovascular Regulation and Learning
… experiment tested hypotheses linking the right cerebral regulation of hostility and cardiovascular reactivity. First, replication of previous research supporting heightened cardiovascular reactivity (mean arterial pressure, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and heart rate) among …

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 …

Analysis of Quantitative Electroencephalographic and Cardiovascular Responses to Stress Amoung Low- and High-Hostiles
… the results may suggest that right- and left-cerebral mechanisms may be primarily responsible for sympathetic and parasympathetic cardiovascular arousal, respectively.
