Complementary hemispheric specialization for language production and visuospatial attention.
Language production and spatial attention are the most salient lateralized cerebral functions, and their complementary specialization has been observed in the majority of the population. To investigate whether the complementary specialization has a causal origin (the lateralization of one function causes the opposite lateralization of the other) or rather is a statistical phenomenon (different ...

متن کاملHemispheric specialization for sign language.
Most studies on sign lateralization provide inconclusive results about the role of the two hemispheres in sign language processing, whereas the cases reported in the clinical literature show sign language impairment only following left hemisphere damage, suggesting a similar neural organization to spoken languages. By discriminating different levels of processing, a tachistoscopic study found t...
متن کاملSelective attention, inhibition for repeated events and hemispheric specialization.
When two visual events appear consecutively in the same spatial location, our response to the second event is slower than to the first. This inhibition for repeated events may reflect a bias toward sampling novel locations, a bias useful for exploring visual space. It has been shown that the left hemisphere is more specialized in selective attentional processes than the right one. The aim of th...
متن کاملAging Modulates the Hemispheric Specialization during Word Production
Although older adults exhibit normal accuracy in performing word retrieval and generation (lexical production; e.g., object naming), they are generally slower in responding than younger adults. To maintain accuracy, older adults recruit compensatory mechanisms and strategies. We focused on two such possible compensatory mechanisms, one semantic and one executive. These mechanisms are reflected ...
