A Study of Cerebral Dominance by Laterality Score and Order of Reporting in Dichotic Listening Test
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Dichotic listening test was performed on 8 schizophrenics and 8 normal healthy controls. A positive correlation between laterality score and shift of order of reporting from one hemisphere to other was found in light handed scliizophrenics during active stage of the disease. Order of reporting alone may be a factor responsible for this shift of laterality in these patients. Further, on follow-up the abnormalities returned back to normal as these patients recovered. This suggests that schizophrenia is a left hemisphere abnormality with tempcral lobe dysfunction.

Introduction: Emotional words in comparison with neutral words have different hemispheric specialization. It is assumed that the right hemisphere has a role in processing every kind of emotional word. The objective of the present study was the development of a Persian version of the dichotic emotional word test and evaluate its validation among adult Persian speakers. Materials and Methods: ...

Studies using dichotic listening tests and electroencephalographic (EEG) measures of hemispheric asymmetry have reported evidence of abnormal brain laterality in patients having depressive disorders. We present new findings from a multigenerational study of risk for depression, in which perceptual asymmetry was measured in dichotic listening tests of emotional and verbal processing. Biological ...

Studies using dichotic listening tasks have reported findings suggestive of alterations of cerebral laterality in schizophrenia and affective disorders. In a review of these findings, an effort was made to take into account four factors: (1) type of dichotic listening task; (2) performance level; (3) clinical state of patients at the time of testing; (4) diagnostic subtype of patients. A conver...

The study examined the relationship between perinatal stress and decreased right handedness and decreased left cerebral dominance for speech with 215 children born prematurely, followed from birth, and tested at age 5. Results indicated that neither hand preference nor hand performance correlated with degree of perinatal stress and that eye preference was associated with perinatal stress though...
متن کاملControlling for Stimulus Dominance in Dichotic Listening Tests: A Modification of A
Dichotic listening procedures have been used to assess cerebral lateralization in normal subjects. One particularly useful technique is the use of stimuli that fuse into a single percept. Although this procedure has many advantages over other dichotic listening methods, it is particularly susceptible to stimulus dominance, which acts as noise in a subject's response data, thus reducing the powe...
