Neurophysiological and Behavioral Correlates of Language Processing and Hemispheric Specialization (open access)

Neurophysiological and Behavioral Correlates of Language Processing and Hemispheric Specialization

The purpose of this study was to examine language organization in the brain by using a series of three tasks concurrent with event-related potentials (ERPs) to investigate both hemispheric differences and interhemispheric reactions. Overall, the findings from this study support a relative rather than absolute hemispheric specialization for language processing. Despite an overall RVF (LH) advantage, both hemispheres were capable of performing the tasks and benefited from semantic priming.
