Word imageability affects the hippocampus in recognition memory.
Concrete words, whose meanings are readily imagined, are better remembered than abstract words. However, the neural correlates of this effect are poorly understood. Here, we investigated the effect of imageability on brain activity in the medial temporal lobe (MTL) processes underlying recognition memory. We recorded event-related potentials (ERPs) via depth electrodes from within the MTL in 14...
متن کاملVisual and Task characteristics may explain hemispheric asymmetry in visual word recognition
Previous studies proposed that the left hemisphere (LH) lateralization in English word recognition is because of the LH superiority in language processing. Nevertheless, Chinese character recognition has been shown to be more bilateral or right hemisphere (RH) lateralized and thus is a counter example of this claim. Through computational modeling, here we show that at least two factors other th...
متن کاملHemispheric asymmetry in cross-race face recognition
a r t i c l e i n f o This study examines two phenomena related to face perception, both of which depend on experience and holistic processing: perceivers process faces more efficiently in the right hemisphere of the brain (a hemispheric asymmetry), and they typically show greater recognition accuracy for members of their racial ingroup (a cross-race recognition deficit). The current study test...
متن کاملWitelson's dichhaptic task as a measure of hemispheric asymmetry in deaf and hearing populations.
Specialization of the right hemisphere for spatial processing was examined in adults and in hearing and deaf children using Witelson’s dichhaptic task. Rightand left-hand performance did not differ for any of the groups although a significant age difference in overall performance of hearing subjects was found. The former result calls into question the validity of Witelson’s task. HEMISPHERIC sp...
متن کاملEffect of Hemispheric Asymmetry on Performance in Auditory Vigilance Task
The study was aimed to determine whether both performance level and performance decrement differ across hemispheres in difficult signal detection task. Sixty-five subjects had to detect the threshold auditory signal presented to the left/right ears randomly. Both hits and false alarm rate were significantly higher, whereas reaction time was shorter in the right hemisphere (RH) than in left one ...
