Hemispheric processing of intonation contours.
TLDR
Results from the two experiments suggest that the right hemisphere is directly involved in the perception of intonation contours, and that normal language perception involves the active participation of both cerebral hemispheres.About:

Statistical learning of tone sequences by human infants and adults.
TL;DR: Results suggest that a learning mechanism previously shown to be involved in word segmentation can also be used to segment sequences of non-linguistic stimuli.

Neurobiological Basis of Speech: A Case for the Preeminence of Temporal Processing
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present evidence supporting the hypothesis that a basic temporal processing impairment in language-impaired children underlies their inability to integrate sensory information that converges in rapid succession in the central nervous system.

The nature of hemispheric specialization in man
TL;DR: The traditional verbal/nonverbal dichotomy is inadequate for completely describing cerebral lateralization as mentioned in this paper, and evidence for a specialist left-hemisphere mechanism dedicated to the encoded speech signal is weakening, and the right hemisphere possesses considerable comprehensional powers.

Dominant Language Functions of the Right Hemisphere?: Prosody and Emotional Gesturing
TL;DR: Arguments are given to support the idea that the right or "minor" hemisphere has a dominant role in modulating the affective components of speech.

Priming and multiple memory systems: Perceptual mechanisms of implicit memory
TL;DR: The hypothesis that priming effects on various tasks reflect the operation of a perceptual representation system (PRS) a class of cortically based subsystems that operate at a presemantic level and support non conscious expressions of memory.

Hemispheric specialization for speech perception.
TL;DR: Analysis of correct responses and errors showed that consonant features are processed independently, in agreement with the cerebral hemisphere dominant for language.

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.
