Lateralization of cognitive processes in the brain

TL;DR: Evidence for the vulnerability of the functional specialization of sound processing is obtained and relatively small changes in acoustic sound features or in their familiarity may modify the degree in which the left vs. right auditory areas contribute to sound encoding.

TL;DR: The authors evaluated the relative statistical performance of three major psychometric models of human intelligence (Cattell-Horn fluid-crystallized model, Vernon's verbal-perceptual model, and Carroll's three-strata model).

TL;DR: Novel animal models and approaches could be established in the last decades, and they already produced a substantial increase of knowledge, and insights from these comparative studies are crucial to understand the functions and pathologies of the authors' asymmetric brain.

TL;DR: It is argued that although the two traits show partial pleiotropy, there is also a substantial amount of independent ontogenetic influences for each of them.

TL;DR: This work discusses the development of Side Bias and Handedness, as well as asymmetries in Portraits and Insight from Neuropsychology, and the role of imaging techniques in this understanding.

TL;DR: A conventional MR-scanner was used to detect signal intensity changes in blood oxygenation level dependent-sensitive acquisitions of motor cortex during real (left hand) and imaginary (right hand) fingertap- ping in a man who had his right arm amputated.

TL;DR: The present study reviews the cerebral and cranial asymmetries that have been reported in the past and also presents some new findings made on endocranial casts of a number of nonhuman primate skulls.

TL;DR: Stimulus Onset Asynchrony--SOA was varied such that the time available to orient attention was manipulated in a dichotic listening paradigm by presenting a pre-exposural tone cue to the ear from which the subject was required to report.
