| pubmed-article:7080738 | pubmed:abstractText | Using dichotic tests, studies have been made on the degree of functional asymmetry of the brain with respect to perception of verbal information in 3-50 years old subjects. Significant age variations were found in the volume of the percepted speech information. Interhemispheral differences in speech perception, which reveal themselves in higher perception of the right ear as compared to the left one, are more evident in children under 10 years. Significant influence of the "effect of voluntary and involuntary attention" of the subjects was noted on the degree of asymmetry of dichotic speech perception, this influence alleviating the intrinsic functional asymmetry of the brain. | lld:pubmed |
