Familiarity Differentially Affects Right Hemisphere Contributions To Processing Metaphors And Literals, V. Lai, Wessel Van Dam, L. Conant, J. Binder, Rutvik Desai

The role of the two hemispheres in processing metaphoric language is controversial. While some studies have reported a special role of the right hemisphere (RH) in processing metaphors, others indicate no difference in laterality relative to literal language. Some studies have found a role of the RH for novel/unfamiliar metaphors, but not conventional/familiar metaphors. It is not clear, however, whether the role of the RH is specific to metaphor novelty, or whether it reflects processing, reinterpretation or reanalysis of novel/unfamiliar language in general. Here we used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to examine the effects of familiarity in both metaphoric …

Sound Neuroscience: An Undergraduate Neuroscience Journal
Ursula Bellugi is one of the prominent researchers in the psychology of language. She currently serves as the director of cognitive neuroscience at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. This paper will examine three areas of Bellugi’s work from the last five decades. In the 1960s and 70s she compared the sign language acquired by Washoe the chimpanzee to human language. In the 80s and 90s her studies of deaf and non-deaf users of American Sign Language led to the conclusion that the left hemisphere is the center of all language processing. And in the last twenty years, Bellugi has …
