Hemispheric asymmetries in the perceptual representations of words.
The representation of words in sentences can involve the activation and integration of perceptual information. For example, readers who are asked to view pictures of objects relating to a word in a sentence are influenced by perceptual information in the sentence context-readers are faster to respond to a picture of a whole apple after reading, "There is an apple in the bag," than after reading...
متن کاملEffects of perceptual quality on hemispheric asymmetries in visible persistence.
Twp experiments were performed to investigate the effects of input stimuli's perceptual characteristics on visual hemifield asymmetries. The task used involved the temporal integration uf form: a stimulus was flashed in two incomplete but complementary flashes, which then had to be integrated over time into the complete stimulus. In this task, successful performance depends on the visible persi...
متن کاملHemispheric Asymmetries: The Comparative View
Hemispheric asymmetries play an important role in almost all cognitive functions. For more than a century, they were considered to be uniquely human but now an increasing number of findings in all vertebrate classes make it likely that we inherited our asymmetries from common ancestors. Thus, studying animal models could provide unique insights into the mechanisms of lateralization. We outline ...
متن کاملHemispheric asymmetries in auditory distraction.
Serial-verbal short-term memory is impaired by irrelevant sound, particularly when the sound changes acoustically (the changing-state effect). In contrast, short-term recall of semantic information is impaired only by the semanticity of irrelevant speech, particularly when it is semantically related to the target memory items (the between-sequence semantic similarity effect). Previous research ...
متن کاملHemispheric Processing* Asymmetries in Phonological
In Sel'boCroat lexical decision to phonologically bivalent letter sf1'ings is slowed relative to their phonologically unique C01tnterparts. This feature was exploited in order to assess the linguistic capacity of the two hemispheres. Lexical decision to laterally presented words and pseudowords revealed a right visual field advantage for both males and females in words and psettdowords. But the...
