And Others; Berry, Gene A. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1980
Spatial and sequential tasks performed both independently and jointly were compared for 40 undergraduates grouped by sex and dominant hand. When both tasks were performed simutaneously, there was a significant advantage for right-handers and a slight advantage for males. This was attributed to hemispheric interference left-handers experienced.…

Geffen, Gina; Wale, Jocelyn – Developmental Psychology, 1979
Binaural and dichotic tasks of varying complexity were given to seven- and nine-year-old children to investigate the interaction of laterality and selective attention. (JMB)

Cornish, K. M.; McManus, I. C. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1996
A study of children (ages 3-5 and 11-13) with autism (n=35), learning disabilities (n=26), or no disabilities (n=90) found that the nondisabled children were more lateralized than others in degree and consistency of handedness. No evidence was found of a dissociation of hand skill and hand preference in children with autism, compared to others.…

Mosley, James L.; Virbancic, Mirna I. – Research in Developmental Disabilities, 1990
This paper reviews literature on the use of dichotic stimulation in individuals with mental retardation, and examines how noninvasive dichotic stimulation relates to hemisphere lateralization. Common findings are discussed concerning direction and magnitude of ear asymmetries, patterns of intrusion errors, and speech lateralization of Down…

Hiscock, Merrill; Kinsbourne, Marcel – Annals of Dyslexia, 1995
This review of the literature on laterality research concludes that, despite advances in the classification accuracy of laterality methods, definitive conclusions about hemispheric specialization in individual cases of dyslexic children cannot be drawn. Event-related measurements of cerebral metabolism promise to complement but not replace…

Eubank, Tressa F.; Sparks, Bernard I. III – Journal of Optometric Education, 1993
A Southern College of Optometry (Tennessee) study found the largest proportions of students to have converger or assimilator learning styles; more women than men were divergers. Substantial differences in men and women were found in hemispheric preference. Results suggest students with differing learning styles will perform differentially in…

Rutherford, Barbara J.; Lutz, Kevin T. – Brain and Cognition, 2004
The research tests the prediction of the inhibitory-interaction hypothesis (Wey, Cook, Landis, Regard, & Graves, 1993) that experience with a task accentuates the functional imbalance between the hemispheres. Right-handed males who were experienced readers were presented a letter string to the centre visual field for lexical decision. The string…

Helmstaedter, C.; Brosch, T.; Kurthen, M.; Elger, C. E. – Brain, 2004
Recent findings raised evidence that in early-onset left temporal lobe epilepsy, women show greater functional plasticity for verbal memory than men. In particular, women with lesion- or epilepsy-driven atypical language dominance show an advantage over men. The question asked in this study was whether there is evidence of sex- and language…

Smith, Adam P. R.; Henson, Richard N. A.; Rugg, Michael D.; Dolan, Raymond J. – Learning & Memory, 2005
There is considerable evidence that encoding and consolidation of memory are modulated by emotion, but the retrieval of emotional memories is not well characterized. Here we manipulated the emotional context with which affectively neutral stimuli were associated during encoding, allowing us to examine neural activity associated with retrieval of…

Polson, Martha C.; And Others – 1983
A study involved the development and testing of a theoretical framework of cerebral specialization in which each hemisphere of the brain is viewed as an independent information processing system. During the study, four sets of experiments were conducted. These involved behavioral as well as electrophysiological measures. According to the…

Flowers, Kenneth – British Journal of Psychology, 1975
Subjects classified according to degree of hand preference were tested with both hands on two tasks of controlled movement. (Editor)

Linnville, Steven E.; And Others – 1984
In an investigation using auditory evoked responses (AERs) to compare strongly left- and strongly right-handed adults in their hemispheric processing of speech materials, it was anticipated that AERs would reflect a bilateralization in the left-handed group of subjects and marked hemispheric differences in the right-handed group. In addition, the…

Guiora, Alexander Z.; And Others – 1983
Recent research in adult pronunciation of foreign languages has assigned a significant role to affective variables. It has been shown that certain language functions, including many aspects of pronunciation, are handled by the right brain hemisphere. An experiment was conducted to study the extent to which the right hemisphere might be activated…

Grigsby, Donald; Wilson, Charles – 1984
The paper discusses curriculum materials and learning strategies suitable to the right hemisphere of the brain. Two limiting factors are noted--the difficulty in identifying non-pathological Ss who show right brain tendency, and asymmetry of the brain which makes empirical evaluation of the validity of these materials problematic. The paper…

Wetzel, Frederick; And Others – 1984
This study investigates whether words differing in a single contrastive semantic feature (positive/negative) can be discriminated by auditory evoked responses (AERs). Ten right-handed college students were provided with auditory stimuli consisting of 20 relational words (more/less; high/low, etc.) spoken with a middle American accent and computer…
