Predictive inferencing was evaluated in 13 adults with right hemisphere damage (RHD) and
11 adults without brain damage (NBD). Brief narrative stimuli that strongly suggested a …

Background: Impaired inferencing has been suggested to contribute to the comprehension
deficits exhibited by adults with right hemisphere brain damage (RHD); however, conflicting …

Purpose This study was designed to replicate and extend a previous study of inferencing in
which some adults with right hemisphere damage (RHD) generated but did not maintain …

Evidence conflicts as to whether adults with right hemisphere brain damage (RHD) generate
inferences during text comprehension. M. Beeman (1993) reported that adults with RHD fail …

In theoretical and experimental attempts to characterize the communicative consequences
of right hemisphere brain damage (RHD), inferencing ability has received much attention …

Purpose Comprehension deficits associated with right hemisphere brain damage (RHD)
have been attributed to an inability to use context, but there is little direct evidence to support …

The inferential reasoning ability of right hemisphere-damaged (RHD) patients was tested by
presenting pairs of sentences which were to be treated as single, integrated units. The two …

Recent proposals have suggested that inferencing deficits may underlie many cognitive-
communicative disorders following right hemisphere brain damage (RHD). However, there …

Recent research suggests that the integrity of the right hemisphere is necessary for the
processing of language in context (eg Foldi, 1987). A specific case of such processing is the …

This study examined the generality of a previous finding indicating that difficulty suppressing
or inhibiting context-inappropriate interpretations is an important predictor of narrative …
