Cerebral lateralization of function and bilingual decision processes: Is thinking lateralized?

Brain and Language, 1978
Abstract Four experiments utilizing tachistoscopic presentation of verbal and spatial stimuli to visual half-fields are presented. Three experiments failed to find any cerebral lateralization effect of the type predicted from existing models of cerebral lateralization processes. One experiment found marked lateralization effects.

LATERALIZATION OF BILINGUAL DIGIT SPAN FUNCTIONS

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1984
36 Chinese-English bilingual undergraduates were tested on forward and backward digit spans in both Chinese and English in monaural listening tests. There was a significant right-ear advantage for forward digit span in Chinese but not in English, suggesting different hemispheric involvement.

Lateralized function relationship between the preoptic area and lateral hypothalamic reinforcement

Brain Research, 1987
Electrical self-stimulation in the lateral hypothalamus of both hemispheres was recorded in 14 rats before and after administration of a unilateral ibotenic acid lesion of the cell bodies in the region of the lateral preoptic area. A significant decrease in the rate of self-stimulation at each of two stimulation intensities was found when the electrode

Lateralization of Psychological Function

1981
Each side of the brain controls the opposite side of the body. This holds true for sensory and motor function, with a few minor exceptions. The first portion of this chapter reviews thalamocortical input and corticoreticular output with the maximum brevity compatible with understanding.

Cognitive function in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Other Motor Neuron Disorders, 2000
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder of unknown etiology. Although there was a widely held belief that ALS does not cause cognitive impairment, cognitive function in patients with ALS has received more attention recently.

Functional Instability Following Lateral Ankle Sprain

Sports Medicine, 2000
Lateral ankle sprain (LAS) is an extremely common athletic injury. Despite extensive clinical and basic science research, the recurrence rate remains high. Functional instability (FI) following LAS is hypothesised to predispose individuals to reinjury because of neuromuscular deficits which result following injury.

[Lateralization of emotional functions].

Fiziologicheskii zhurnal SSSR imeni I. M. Sechenova, 1984
Recordings of the P300 waves in left and right hemispheres in response to neutral and emotionally significant words corroborate the rightfulness of the principle stating that any psychic function, for instance emotion, is organized and controlled by means of a close and complementary collaboration of both hemispheres.

Functional Lateralization of the Brain

The Journal of Special Education, 1984
Research concerning the lateralization of human brain functions is examined in light of the recent publication of the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC). Following a review of research methodologies and functions ascribed to the hemispheres of the brain, differences are portrayed as complementary and coexisting modes of cognitive ...

Lateralization of Brain Function

The left and right hemispheres of the brain process sensory information in different ways and function differently in controlling behavior. This lateralization of brain function, originally thought to be unique to humans, is now known to occur in a broad range of non-human vertebrates and even in invertebrates, indicating that it is an essential ...
