  1. 16. A study of twins born preterm : Functional lateralization, cognition, and brain volumes in twin and single-born children at early school ages

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för psykologi

    Author : Sofia Wallström; Rebecka Boberg; [2015]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Earlier research has found that preterm birth with low gestational age (GA) and low birth weight (BW) is associated with an increased risk of long-term effects such as atypical lateralization, cognitive deficits and smaller brain volume. Similar consequences have been found in twins. This study compares twins born preterm (n=22, Mean GA=32. READ MORE

    Author : Katja Bilić; [2011]
    Keywords : aging; memory; lateralization; handedness; footedness; eyedness;

    Abstract : Age-related decline in memory and other cognitive functions, such as visuospatial functions is widely studied and well documented. In recent years, some studies have also found relationships between memory performance and functional body lateralization, with individuals who are inconsistently lateralized (e.g. READ MORE

  5. 19. False recognition : a side effect of right-nostril odor perception

    University essay from Psykologiska institutionen

    Author : Andrea Niman; [2011]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Research on hemispheric lateralization of olfactory processes is limited and inconclusive. Right-nostril advantage in judging familiarity and intensity has been reported, while the left hemisphere has been suggested to be more involved in hedonic estimation and odor naming. READ MORE
