Finding the right word: Hemispheric asymmetries in the use of sentence context information

EW Wlotko, KD Federmeier - Neuropsychologia, 2007 - Elsevier
The cerebral hemispheres have been shown to be differentially sensitive to sentence-level
information; in particular, it has been suggested that only the left hemisphere (LH) makes …

Both sides get the point: Hemispheric sensitivities to sentential constraint

KD Federmeier, H Mai, M Kutas - Memory & cognition, 2005 - Springer
Behavioral studies have consistently reported striking differences in the impact of sentence-
level information on the processing of words presented in the right (RVF) versus the left …

Right hemisphere sensitivity to word-and sentence-level context: evidence from event-related brain potentials.

S Coulson, KD Federmeier, C Van Petten… - Journal of …, 2005 - psycnet.apa.org
Researchers using lateralized stimuli have suggested that the left hemisphere is sensitive to
sentence-level context, whereas the right hemisphere (RH) primarily processes word-level …

Hemispheric sensitivities to lexical and contextual information: Evidence from lexical ambiguity resolution

O Peleg, Z Eviatar - Brain and Language, 2008 - Elsevier
The present study examined the manner in which both hemispheres utilize prior semantic
context and relative meaning frequency during the processing of homographs. Participants …

Right words and left words: Electrophysiological evidence for hemispheric differences in meaning processing

KD Federmeier, M Kutas - Cognitive Brain Research, 1999 - Elsevier
Both cerebral hemispheres are involved in language processing, each playing a unique role
that may derive from differences in knowledge organization and on-line meaning integration …

Sentence context and lexical ambiguity resolution by the two hemispheres

M Faust, C Chiarello - Neuropsychologia, 1998 - Elsevier
A lexical decision experiment investigated hemisphere asymmetries in resolving lexical
ambiguity within a sentence context. Sentences that biased a single meaning (either …

Two sides of meaning: The scalp-recorded N400 reflects distinct contributions from the cerebral hemispheres

EW Wlotko, KD Federmeier - Frontiers in psychology, 2013 - frontiersin.org
The N400, a component of the event-related potential (ERP) associated with the processing
of meaning, is sensitive to a wide array of lexico-semantic, sentence-level, and discourse …

The memory that's right and the memory that's left: Event-related potentials reveal hemispheric asymmetries in the encoding and retention of verbal information

KM Evans, KD Federmeier - Neuropsychologia, 2007 - Elsevier
We examined the nature and timecourse of hemispheric asymmetries in verbal memory by
recording event-related potentials (ERPs) in a continuous recognition task. Participants …

Hemispheric asymmetries in the resolution of lexical ambiguity

J Coney, KD Evans - Neuropsychologia, 2000 - Elsevier
The linguistic phenomenon of lexical ambiguity has been intensively investigated as a
means of gaining insight into general mechanisms of lexical access. It is now evident that …

The effects of context, meaning frequency, and associative strength on semantic selection: Distinct contributions from each cerebral hemisphere

AM Meyer, KD Federmeier - Brain Research, 2007 - Elsevier
The visual half-field procedure was used to examine hemispheric asymmetries in meaning
selection. Event-related potentials were recorded as participants decided if a lateralized …
