Worlds apart: Pictorial semantics in the left and right cerebral hemispheresDahlia W.ZaidelauthorThe dominant view in neuropsychology fails to consider that the
hemispheric "functional division of labor" in terms of language versus
non-language reflects but one dimension of hemispheric differences.
That is, specialization of language in the left hemisphere and of
spatial orientation in the right represent only specific aspects of the
general underlying hemispheric meaning systems. Indeed, we have found
that there can be two full-blown meaning systems, one in the left and
one in the right, which can operate separately and simultaneously in
the normal brain.
