| Abstract | Behavioral laterality tasks with linguistic stimuli were used to assess the differential processing efficiencies of the cerebral hemispheres in right- and left-handed adults. Findings from a lateralized lexical decision task with concrete nouns supported Zaidel's (1983) "direct access" model of hemispheric functioning. A dual task consisting of oral and silent reading indicated that the right hand was significantly more disrupted than the left during unimanual finger tapping; however, some bilateral interference was observed. Taken together the findings suggest that although the left hemisphere was relatively more efficient, the right hemisphere was dynamically involved in the reading process. |
