--- abstract: 'The left and right hemispheres are asymmetrical with respect to specific cognitive abilities as well as organization of concepts and meaning systems. Several hemi-field experiments using the notion of typicality in different cognitive domains are described in this paper, as well as experiments which tap the notion of hemispheric-specific schemata. The results suggest that the 2 cerebral hemispheres can process the same external information but in ways which suggest asymmetry in concept and meaning organization.' altloc: [] chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: ~ confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: [] creators_name: - family: Zaidel given: Dahlia honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 2000 date_type: published datestamp: 2005-05-02 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/17/25 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: [] eprint_status: archive eprintid: 1725 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/application_pdf.png;/1725/3/Medin%2527s%2520Chapter.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: 'typicality, prototypical, prototypicality, typical, brain, hemispheric specialization, left hemisphere, right hemisphere, priming, prime, schema, schemas, schemata, face, prosopagnosia, laterality, visual, vision, objects, hemi-field paradigm, normal subjects, evolution, cerebral, brain functions, reaction time, latency, split-brain, commissurotomy, meaning, exemplar, instances, categories, superordinate categories, categorization, art, artists, art and brain, creativity, novelty, brain and creativity.' lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:54:46 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: ~ pagerange: 1-21 pubdom: FALSE publication: The Psychology of Learning and Motivation publisher: ~ refereed: TRUE referencetext: ~ relation_type: [] relation_uri: [] reportno: ~ rev_number: 12 series: ~ source: ~ status_changed: 2007-09-12 16:39:53 subjects: - neuro-psy - cog-psy - behav-neuro-sci succeeds: 1713 suggestions: ~ sword_depositor: ~ sword_slug: ~ thesistype: ~ title: Different organization of concepts and meaning systems in the two cerebral hemispheres type: journalp userid: 234 volume: 40
