Background: Several studies have demonstrated that patients with right hemisphere
damage, when compared with left-hemisphere-damaged controls, are impaired at …

Past research has shown that lesions in the left cerebral hemisphere often result in aphasia,
while lesions in the right hemisphere frequently impair the production of emotional prosody …

Purpose 'Affective prosody'defines the supra-segmental features of speech that, when
manipulated, can change the type and intensity of emotion conveyed by the speaker …

Although affective prosody appears to be a dominant function of the right hemisphere, its
degre of lateralization has not yet been established since various publications have reported …

We examined a series of 59 patients with acute stroke lesions for the presence of
comprehension emotional aprosody. Based on a standardized assessment of …

This study evaluated the ability to produce and comprehend affective prosody across age
groups and compared patterns of impaired performance to deficits observed after focal brain …

We examined Ross'(1981) hypothesis regarding the disruption of affective prosody
subsequent to right hemisphere brain damage (RHD). Twenty patients who had suffered a …

Stimuli from two previously presented comprehension tasks of affective and linguistic
prosody (Pell & Baum, 1997) were analyzed acoustically and subjected to several …

To test a number of hypotheses concerning the functional lateralization of speech prosody,
the ability of unilaterally right-hemisphere-damaged (RHD), unilaterally left-hemisphere …

Background and objectives. Whereas injury to the left hemisphere induces aphasia, injury to
the right hemisphere's perisylvian region induces an impairment of emotional speech …
