COMPREHENSION (2010, background): “Recent studies have shown right hemisphere greater than left hemisphere activity in higher-level language tasks, including comprehending metaphors and jokes, drawing inferences, and sequencing events in a narrative.(18) In a study by Caplan and Dapretto, judging the logic of a question and a provide”
The roles of the temporal lobe in creative insight: an integrated review (2017, methodology): “The pSTG and the selective access of various associations Considerable evidence (e.g., Frankland & Greene, 2015; Hoenig & Scheef, 2009; Jung-Beeman, 2005; Poeppel & Hickok, 2004) has revealed that the anterior and posterior parts of the STG are associated with distinct semantic functions and with di”
The Angular Gyrus (2013, background): “This issue relates to the possible differences in functional properties in the left and right AG over varieties of tasks (Jung-Beeman 2005; Lindell 2006).”
The arcuate fasciculus and the disconnection theme in language and aphasia: history and current state. (2008, result): “…architecture of parallel processing (Mesulam, 1990), but also is in keeping with some of the classical neurological models of aphasia, contemporary models of verbal working memory (Baddeley, 2003) and recent functional neuroimaging findings (Jung-Beeman, 2005;Sakai, 2005;Stephan et al., 2003).”
Enhancing creativity by means of cognitive stimulation: Evidence from an fMRI study (2010, background): “Besides the temporo-parietal cortex, the cingulate (AUinc and AUstim) and medial frontal (AUstim) brain regions are also regarded as key components of the semantic system (Binder et al., 2009) and have a special role in the processing of semantic information (see also Jung-Beeman, 2005).”
The Cognitive Neuroscience of Creativity: A Critical Review (2011, background): “A corresponding fMRI study found strong activation of LH frontal regions in the same conditions, particularly the left inferior frontal gyrus (this finding was replicated by Jung-Beeman, 2005).”
The Neural Architecture of the Language Comprehension Network: Converging Evidence from Lesion and Connectivity Analyses (2011, background): “Right hemisphere involvement in the language comprehension network (Just et al., 1996; Jung-Beeman, 2005) is another important question for future investigations.”
Thinking ahead: the role and roots of prediction in language comprehension. (2007, background): “Results like these have been taken to suggest that the hemispheres may differ in the ‘‘coarseness’’ of their semantic coding, with narrow, focused meaning activation in the LH and weak, diffuse activation (‘‘coarse coding’’) in the RH (Beeman, 1998; Jung-Beeman, 2005).”
A Brain Mechanism for Facilitation of Insight by Positive Affect (2009, positive): “Rather than simply increasing RH semantic processing, it appears that PA heightens solvers’ sensitivity to solution-relevant processing, which may often occur within the RH semantic processing network (Jung-Beeman, 2005), working in cooperation with cognitive control processes in the frontal cortex ”
What is right-hemisphere contribution to phonological, lexico-semantic, and sentence processing?: Insights from a meta-analysis (2011, positive): “Such patients miss the general idea of stories or conversations (Jung-Beeman, 2005), have impairments in the coherent integration of meaning (Beeman et al.”
