Although lexical decision remains one of the most extensively studied cognitive tasks, very
little is known about its relationship to broader linguistic performance such as reading ability …

Research over the last few years has shown that the dominance of the left hemisphere in
language processing is less complete than previously thought [Beeman, M.(1993). Semantic …

This study examined whether the right hemisphere's contribution to lexical semantic
processing is greatest when it is “disinhibited.” Skilled reading may require the controlled …

Despite the extensive clinical and neuropsychological evidence for major differences in
language function between the left and right hemispheres, it has proven difficult to …

The advantage for words in the right visual hemifield (RVF) has been assigned parallel
orthographic processing by the left hemisphere and sequential by the right. However, an …

The assumptions tested were that the relative contribution of each hemisphere to reading
alters with experience and that experience increases suppression of the simultaneous use …

Background Both reading words and text in Arabic is slower than in other languages, even
among skilled native Arabic speakers Previously we have shown that the right hemisphere …

Behavioral laterality effects in naming and lexical decision in Farsi and English were used to
evaluate three theories of cross-linguistic differences. First, the Scanning hypothesis predicts …

Behavioral laterality tasks with linguistic stimuli were used to assess the differential
processing efficiencies of the cerebral hemispheres in right-and left-handed adults. Findings …

Despite its widespread use to measure functional lateralization of language in healthy
subjects, the neurocognitive bases of the visual field effect in lateralized reading are still …
