A Study of Humor and the Right Hemisphere
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 199065 male and 65 female subjects rated 32 jokes for funniness and solved 14 visually displayed mental-rotation problems. Subjects with faster mental-rotation times tended to rate the jokes as funnier, which is consistent with previous evidence implicating the right hemisphere in the processing of humor.

Language in the Nondominant Right Hemisphere
Archives of Neurology, 1983Language function was evaluated in the right nondominant hemisphere in three patients undergoing cortical resection for intractable seizures. Three linguistic tests were given during electrical stimulation of the cortex. They represented three different levels of language complexity from lowest to highest as follows: task 1, object naming; task 2 ...

Right-Hemisphere Linguistic Functioning
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1983This review examined the linguistic processing abilities and potential of adults' nondominant hemisphere. Relevant literature was reviewed for experimental evidence of qualitative and quantitative differences in language functioning between the left and right cerebral hemispheres.

Can the Right Hemisphere Speak?
Brain and Language, 1997While a capacity for the right hemisphere in language and language related functions is established, a role for the right hemisphere in speech production is controversial. The question of the nature of a possible right hemisphere speech production capability has centered mainly on the Jacksonian notion of nonpropositional speech.

Right–left discrimination is related to the right hemisphere
Laterality: Asymmetries of Body, Brain and Cognition, 2008We aimed to determine the functional localisation of right-left discrimination (RLD) by functional MRI (fMRI). In this study, 16 male volunteers were examined. There were three task sessions: one active and two baseline tasks. During the baseline tasks participants were instructed to show numbers with their fingers.

Mental Rotation and the Right Hemisphere
Brain and Language, 1997Mental rotation may be considered a prototypical example of a higher-order transformational process that is nonsymbolic and analog as opposed to propositional. It is therefore a paradigm case for testing the view that these properties are fundamentally right-hemispheric.

Depression and the hyperactive right-hemisphere
Neuroscience Research, 2010Depression is associated with an inter-hemispheric imbalance; a hyperactive right-hemisphere (RH) and a relatively hypoactive left-hemisphere (LH). Nevertheless, the underlying mechanisms which can explain why depression is associated with a RH dominance remain elusive. This article points out the potential links between functional cerebral asymmetries

Right hemisphere sensitivity to feedback
Neuropsychologia, 1990The present studies sought to determine whether feedback-related emotional states influence perceptual and/or response processes within the right hemisphere. The task involved the presentation of a positive, neutral or negative feedback signal followed by a target in the left (LVF) or right (RVF) visual field which was spatially compatible or ...

Does Cognition in the Disconnected Right Hemisphere Require Right Hemisphere Possession of Language?
Brain and Language, 1997It has been asserted at times that the human right hemisphere is cognitively inferior to that of a chimpanzee or even a monkey. Related is the even stronger claim that human consciousness, as well as cognition, requires language. These claims are discussed, and counterexamples are presented from both split-brain subjects and patients hemispherectomized

Is the right hemisphere literate?
Cognitive Neuropsychology, 1984Abstract Coltheart (1980, 1983) has proposed that in the typical right-handed, left-hemisphere-dominant individual, the right hemisphere is, with limitations, literate. The primary skill of this right-hemisphere reading system is thought to be comprehension of printed words, especially concrete/imageable words; its failings are thought to include the ...
