Individual differences in hemispheric lateralization of language processing
… priming in order to determine the role of interhemispheric transfer. Two stimulus onset asynchronies (SOA; 50 ms and 400 ms) and two levels of association strength (high and neutral) between the prime and the target words were used in the priming task.</p> <p>Ipsilateral prime-target reaction …

Behavioral, physiological, and neuropsychological correlates of hostility
… and intensity to stress were expected. Last, hemispheric lateralization of cerebral activity in response to stress was measured. Low- and high-hostile subjects were identified using the Cook Medley Hostility Scale (CMHS). All subjects completed the cold pressor paradigm and were videotaped …

An epigenetic theory of hemispheric specialization: the role of prenatal sensori-motor experience in the development of turning bias and spatial orientation in bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus)
… quail. The theory presented here describes hemispheric specialization as the result of probabilistic events in the developing organism's prenatal environment; in particular, activity and experience in the final stages of prenatal development appear critical. Models and definitions of …

Sensory and cognitive processing deficits in anxious depressed children: a neurobehavioral study
… prosody (happy, sad, angry, and neutral), hemispheric lateralization of affective and propositional speech, grip strength, verbal fluency, problem solving, and alternation and sequencing. As predicted, anxious-depressed subjects performed less accurately on the identification of happy, sad, …

Lateralization of motor behavior as a measure of cognitive functioning and resting-state electrocortical activity
… in self-report and motor measures maps onto hemispheric lateralization and this has important implications for psychopathology (e.g., depression) and cognition. The present study evaluates the relationship between performance on finger-tapping tasks (FTT), alpha power during resting-state …

Atypical Lateralization of Language and Face Processing in Autism Spectrum Disorder
… respectively. Furthermore, the degree of lateralization is related to behavioural proficiency in both domains. Converging evidence suggests that the development of lateralization in these separate domains is typically interrelated. Neuroimaging literature demonstrates reduced leftward …

Exploring the functional organization of cerebral cortex using data from the Human Connectome Project
… of social information. This complementary hemispheric lateralization provides novel insights into the origin of language selectivity in the brain, and it could have implications in understanding neurocognitive mechanisms of social disorders such as autism. In the third study, I …

Auditory comprehension: from the voice up to the single word level
… in stroke patients (n=25, right or left hemispheric brain lesions, both with and without aphasia) showed that lesions of the right frontal cortex (likely ventral inferior frontal gyrus) leads to systematic voice perception deficits while left hemispheric lesions can elicit both voice and …

Cortical Processing of Visual Parts and Wholes
Visual perception theory distinguishes between two distinct levels of object processing: holistic, based on global shape, and configural, based on local features and/or component parts. Empirical evidence suggests that different cortical regions may support these levels; holistic processing …
