The traditional verbal/nonverbal dichotomy is inadequate for completely describing cerebral
lateralization. Musical functions are not necessarily mediated by the right hemisphere; …

An information-processing approach to cerebral function is not altogether new. It would not
be distorting the truth too much to say that the initial functional wiring diagrams of the cortex …

Investigated how the component features of faces are combined when presented to the left
or right visual field. The present study also examined the validity of the analytic–holistic …

Six experiments investigated the detection of pitch, rhythm and harmony changes in music
perception. While RTs did not differentiate between ears for detecting a changed note in …

Do visual field effects point to differences in cortical representation, or do they reflect
differences in the way these representations are used by other brain regions? This study …

The dichotomies verbal/visuospatial, serial/parallel and analytic/holistic are reviewed with
respect to differences in hemispheric processing. A number of experimental parameters may …

Subjects made lexical decisions to laterally-presented words, illegal consonant strings, and
legal nonwords. Of the 24 right-handers, females (12) gave minimal field differences and …

Information processing models have been a widely used approach in cognitive psychology
for the last three decades (eg, Miller, Galanter & Pribram, 1960; Neisser, 1967; Lindsey & …

Existing models of laterality, while often successful at describing circumscribed domains,
have not been successful as explanations of the overall patterns of hemispheric …

Although research on lateral differences has proliferated, attempts to specify fundamental
dichotomies of hemispheric processing have yielded less than satisfactory results. The factor …
