TLDR
In the three experiments described, a comparison is made of two methods of measuring the threshold of fusion of two clicks: a signal detection method, and a modified method of constants that reveals a significant ear asymmetry effect.Abstract:
In the three experiments described, a comparison is made of two methods of measuring the threshold of fusion of two clicks: a signal detection method, and a modified method of constants. The former method reveals a significant ear asymmetry effect, which is accentuated when a burst of white noise is presented contralaterally with the clicks. Results are discussed with reference to differentiation of function of the cerebral hemispheres.read more

Neural Lateralization of Species-Specific Vocalizations by Japanese Macaques (Macaca fuscata)
TL;DR: The results suggest that Japanese macaques engage left-hemisphere processors for the analysis of communicatively significant sounds that are analogous to the lateralized mechanisms used by humans listening to speech.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temporal processing asymmetries between the cerebral hemispheres: evidence and implications.
TL;DR: A large body of research which has investigated the capacities of the cerebral hemispheres to process temporal information supports the notion of a left hemisphere advantage for temporal resolution and demonstrates that cerebral lateralisation is not limited to the higher-order functions.

Hemispheric asymmetry for auditory perception of temporal order.
Laurain Mills,Gary B. Rollman +1 more
TL;DR: The results showed that the threshold for temporal order was smaller when the right-ear click preceded the left-ear Click compared to the opposite order of presentation, suggesting that the left hemisphere is the location for temporal processing in this task.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hemispheric differences in temporal resolution
TL;DR: It is unlikely that a hemispheric difference in temporal resolution is sufficient to give a complete account of lateralized functions, but attempts to show more primitive physiological differences between the hemispheres are more likely to be fruitful than attempts which differentiate the hemisphere in terms of higher-order psychological functions.

The Electrodermal Psychophysiology of Schizophrenics and Children at Risk for Schizophrenia: Controversies and Developments
TL;DR: This personally biased review of work on the autonomic physiology of schizophrenia takes as its starting points three interlocking sets of findings and will attempt to extend its coverage from them.

TL;DR: A brief review of the theory of statistical decision is reviewed and a description of the elements of the theories appropriate to human observers is presented, including a quantitative measure of the criterion.

Speech and Brain-Mechanisms.
TL;DR: The story of aphasia is well summarized in two scholarly and critical chapters by Roberts (Chaps. IV and VI) as mentioned in this paper, which modestly sum up their important contributions as follows: "In conclusion, the first sure evidence that physicians might hope to distinguish functional units within the brain, appeared about one hundred years ago with the discovery of a speech mechanism within one hemisphere".

Left-right differences in the perception of melodies
TL;DR: In this article, normal subjects were given two auditory tests, one consisting of spoken digits presented dichotically, the other of melodies presented di erently, and the score for the right ear was the same as the left ear.
