ANATOMICAL ASYMMETRIES AND FUNCTIONAL LATERALITY

Brain, 1992
Anatomical and functional asymmetries were measured using MRI and dichotic, visual field and hand performance laterality tasks in 104 normal right- and left-handed male and female adults. Comprehensive linear and area measures showed consistently larger brains when handedness and language laterality were in the same direction.

On the Magnitude of Laterality Effects and Sex Differences in Functional Lateralities

Laterality, 1996
In the last 20 years, the hypothesis that men and women differ in functional lateralities has been used to account for sex-related differences in verbal and spatial skills. However, this hypothesis has not been clearly supported, with some reviewers confirming it (McGlone, 1980 for example), and others rejecting it (Fairweather, 1982 for example).

Dual Functionality in Later Life

The Gerontologist, 2023
Abstract Gerontologists have long shown interest in both longevity and quality of life during later life, but considerable debate has ensued as scholars sought to integrate the two. Drawing from research on the topics of exceptional longevity, successful aging, and active life expectancy, we propose the concept of dual functionality to ...

Sensitivity to Laterality as a Function of Handedness

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1978
This study tested the hypothesis that left-handed individuals are more aware than right-handed individuals of others' handedness. 18 left-handed and 18 right-handed college students were shown a drawing of 8 children at a party. Seven children held objects in the left hand, while one held an object in the right hand. After 2 ½ min.

Lateralization of auditory-cortex functions

Brain Research Reviews, 2003
In the present review, we summarize the most recent findings and current views about the structural and functional basis of human brain lateralization in the auditory modality. Main emphasis is given to hemodynamic and electromagnetic data of healthy adult participants with regard to music- vs. speech-sound encoding.
