This study investigated whether prolonged interference from contextually inappropriate
semantic activation after right hemisphere damage (RHD) could be related to a slowing of …

Background: The right cerebral hemisphere (RH) sustains activation of subordinate,
secondary, less common, and/or distantly related meanings of words. Much of the pertinent …

Using a cross-modal semantic priming paradigm, the present study investigated the ability of
left-hemisphere-damaged (LHD) nonfluent aphasic, right-hemisphere-damaged (RHD) and …

Background: A great deal of research suggests that both the left hemisphere (LH) and right
hemisphere (RH) contribute to the resolution of lexically ambiguous words. If this is indeed …

In the present study, a cross-modal semantic priming task was used to investigate the ability
of left-hemisphere-damaged (LHD) nonfluent aphasic, right-hemisphere-damaged (RHD) …

Eighteen right-hemisphere-damaged (RHD) and 15 control subjects listened to sentences
that ended in lexical ambiguities. The sentence verbs biased ambiguity interpretation. Probe …

In spite of controversies, numerous studies have suggested that the right hemisphere (RH)
of right-handers demonstrates some lexical–semantic abilities (see Joanette, Goulet, & …

The purpose of the present study was to identify general and syndrome-specific deficits in
the lexical processing of individuals with non-fluent and fluent aphasia compared to …

In the current neurolinguistic literature, two proposals have been put forth to account for the
deficit in ambiguous word processing observed in nonfluent aphasic patients. One proposal …

We examined the issue of right cerebral hemisphere (RH) participation in sentential syntax
processing. A modified version of the Insertion Task of Schneiderman and Saddy 88) was …
