Choosing words: left hemisphere, right hemisphere, or both? Perspective on the lateralization of word retrieval.
Language is considered to be one of the most lateralized human brain functions. Left hemisphere dominance for language has been consistently confirmed in clinical and experimental settings and constitutes one of the main axioms of neurology and neuroscience. However, functional neuroimaging studies are finding that the right hemisphere also plays a role in diverse language functions. Critically...
متن کاملVariable Left-hemisphere Language and Orthographic Lateralization Reduces Right-hemisphere Face Lateralization
It is commonly believed that, in right-handed individuals, words and faces are processed by distinct neural systems: one in the left hemisphere (LH) for words and the other in the right hemisphere (RH) for faces. Emerging evidence suggests, however, that hemispheric selectivity for words and for faces may not be independent of each other. One recent account suggests that words become lateralize...
متن کاملWhat is the cause of left hemisphere lateralization of English visual word recognition? Pre-existing language lateralization, or task characteristics?
Visual word recognition in alphabetic languages such as English has been shown to have left hemisphere (LH) lateralization and argued to be linked to the LH superiority in language processing. Nevertheless, Chinese character recognition has been shown to be more bilateral or right hemisphere (RH) lateralized and thus is a counterexample of this claim. LH processing has been shown to have a high...
متن کاملLeft or Right Hemisphere? A Novel Answer to the Old Question of Lateralization by Introducing IRL (Individualistic Relativistic Lateralization)
Although lateralization for language functions gives the sheer authority of language centers and control to the left hemisphere, there is a strong debate among the specialists regarding which hemisphere has the responsibility for language. There is not a complete meeting ground among the scholars on the roles of each hemisphere in language processes either. The recent studies including the adva...
متن کاملRight-hemisphere dominance for the processing of sound-source lateralization.
Cortical processing of change in direction of a perceived sound source was investigated in 12 human subjects using whole-head magnetoencephalography. The German word "da" was presented either with or without 0.7 msec interaural time delays to create the impression of right- or left-lateralized or midline sources, respectively. Midline stimuli served as standards, and lateralized stimuli served ...
