Bidelman, Gavin M.; Gandour, Jackson T.; Krishnan, Ananthanarayan – Brain and Cognition, 2011
Behavioral and neurophysiological transfer effects from music experience to language processing are well-established but it is currently unclear whether or not linguistic expertise (e.g., speaking a tone language) benefits music-related processing and its perception. Here, we compare brainstem responses of English-speaking musicians/non-musicians…

Calabria, Marco; Miniussi, Carlo; Bisiacchi, Patricia S.; Zanetti, Orazio; Cotelli, Maria – Brain and Cognition, 2009
Repetition priming (RP) has been employed as a measure of implicit processing in patients suffering from a breakdown of semantic memory, as in the case of semantic dementia (SD), a subtype of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). Here, we investigated face-name representation in a case of SD using a paradigm of within- and cross-domain…

Hurks, P. P. M.; Hendriksen, J. G. M.; Vles, J. S. H.; Kalff, A. C.; Feron, F. J. M.; Kroes, M.; van Zeben, T. M. C. B.; Steyaert, J.; Jolles, J. – Brain and Cognition, 2004
The performance of ADHD children on semantic category fluency (SCF) versus initial letter fluency (ILF) tasks was examined. For each participant, word production was recorded for each 15-s time slice on each task. Performance on both fluency tasks was compared to test the hypothesis that children with ADHD are characterized by a performance…

Tremblay, Tania; Monetta, Laura; Joanette, Yves – Brain and Cognition, 2004
It is commonly accepted that phonology is the exclusive domain of the left hemisphere. However, this pattern of lateralization, which posits a right visual field advantage, has been questioned by several studies. In fact, certain factors such as characteristics of the stimuli and subjects' handedness can modulate the right visual field advantage.…
