Response times, accuracy and event-related potentials were measured in 24 children (mean age 7.6 years), 24 juveniles (11.4 years) and 24 adults (23.8 years) during a mental rotation task with letters. Response time and error rates increased with angular displacements for all age groups. Increasing accuracy with increasing age suggested that this task was more difficult for younger participants...

When researchers attempt to produce comprehensive or “holistic” findings, they all too often set as...

In the last two decades research on the neurophysiological processes of creativity has found contradicting results. Whereas most research suggests right hemisphere dominance in creative thinking, left-hemisphere dominance has also been reported.

Writing was invented too recently to have influenced the human genome. Consequently, reading acquisition must rely on partial recycling of pre-existing brain systems. Prior fMRI evidence showed that in literates a left-hemispheric visual region increases its activation to written strings relative to illiterates and reduces its response to faces. Increasing literacy also leads to a stronger righ...
