Can the right hemisphere speak?

Code, Chris·1997·Brain and Language

Abstract

While a capacity for the right hemisphere in language and language related functions is established, a role for the right hemisphere in speech production is controversial. The question of the nature of a possible right hemisphere speech production capability has centered mainly on the Jacksonian notion of nonpropositional speech. In this paper I examine whether the right hemisphere does have-a particular role in nonpropositional speech through an exploration of the neurophysiological evidence, research in aphasic speech automatisms, and degree of propositionality in the retained speech of adult left hemispherectomy patients.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Speech automatisms are common after left hemisphere damage with aphasia, while right hemisphere damage impairs automatic speech production more than left-sided lesions do.

    “This idea has received some support from lesion studies showing that speech automatisms (e.g., over-learned phrases, curse words) often occur in patients with left hemisphere brain damage and aphasia, whereas, relative to patients with left-sided lesions, patients with right hemisphere damage are impaired in producing automatic speech (for review see Code, 1997).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
