When a Dog Has a Pen for a Tail: The Time Course of Creative Object Processing
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Wang, Botao; Duan, Haijun; Qi, Senqing; Hu, Weiping; Zhang, Huan – Creativity Research Journal, 2017
Creative objects differ from ordinary objects in that they are created by human beings to contain novel, creative information. Previous research has demonstrated that ordinary object processing involves both a perceptual process for analyzing different features of the visual input and a higher-order process for evaluating the relevance of this…

Ruggiero, Fabiana; Lavazza, Andrea; Vergari, Maurizio; Priori, Alberto; Ferrucci, Roberta – Creativity Research Journal, 2018
Creativity is the ability to come up with new and original solutions to problems. It is characterized along a dipole spectrum, with the opposing ends defined as convergent and divergent thinking. Previous studies have provided evidence that various cognitive functions and insight into non-verbal problems can be enhanced using non-invasive brain…

Kaya, E. Erdem – Educational Research and Reviews, 2015
Between the two hemispheres of the brain, structural and functional differences are called cerebral lateralization that can affect the skill performance of both arms in a different way, which is called handedness. Approximately 90% of people are right-handed and they use the right hand for most skillful activities. Interestingly, recent studies…

Lack of Association of Handedness with Inattention and Hyperactivity Symptoms in ADHD
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Ghanizadeh, Ahmad – Journal of Attention Disorders, 2013
Objective: Findings about the association of left-handedness and ADHD are inconsistent. While abnormal brain laterality is reported in children with ADHD, it is unclear if hand preference is associated with ADHD, severity symptoms, age, gender, comorbid psychiatric problems, or parental characteristics. Method: Subjects were 520 boys and girls…

Wilbourn, Makeba Parramore; Gottfried, Allen W.; Kee, Daniel W. – Developmental Psychology, 2011
The relationship between consistency of hand preference, left hemispheric specialization, and cognitive functioning was examined in an ongoing longitudinal investigation. Children were classified as consistent or inconsistent in their hand preference across 5 assessments from ages 18 to 42 months. Findings demonstrated that (a) this early…

The Main Sources of Intersubject Variability in Neuronal Activation for Reading Aloud
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kherif, Ferath; Josse, Goulven; Seghier, Mohamed L.; Price, Cathy J. – Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2009
The aim of this study was to find the most prominent source of intersubject variability in neuronal activation for reading familiar words aloud. To this end, we collected functional imaging data from a large sample of subjects (n = 76) with different demographic characteristics such as handedness, sex, and age, while reading. The…
