This dissertation investigates lexical access in the two cerebral hemispheres. It is shown that
lateralized performance measures involving hemispheric competence and interhemispheric …

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

We compared behavioral laterality effect in a lexical decision task using cued unilateral or
bilateral presentations of different stimuli to normal subjects. The goals were to determine …

Recent neurocognitive studies of visual word recognition provide information about
neuronal networks correlated with processes involved in lexical access and their time …

Abstract n This paper presents evidence of the disputed existence of an electrophysiological
marker for the lexical-categorical distinction between open-and closed-class words. Event …

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 …

Two findings serve as the hallmark for hemispheric specialization during lateralized lexical
decision. First is an overall word advantage, with words being recognized more quickly and …

In several experiments, we compared behavioral and electrophysiological correlates of
hemifield tachistoscopic presentations of single words and nonwords for lexical decision in …

A lateralized tachistoscopic lexical decision task with concrete nouns and orthographically
regular nonwords was administered to normal subjects in three conditions using unimanual …

Words are a language system's building blocks, making the apprehension and recognition
of words one of the most fundamental language skills. Because words encapsulate different …
