“…emotional categorization, lexical decision) with supra-or subliminal presentation (Bernat et al 2001). Interestingly, only a minority of these studies (Brody et al 1987;Bryden and Ley 1983;Landis 2006;Ortigue et al 2004) support a strict dominance of the right hemisphere for emotional word processing. In fact, even some early patient work does not confirm a strict lateralized preference for emotional speech and language processes in the right hemisphere: For instance, Blonder et al (1991) reported no accuracy differences between controls and left hemisphere and right hemisphere patients in an emotional sentence categorization task that included sentences such as 'all the puppies are dead' spoken with a sad tone of voice (Blonder et al 1991;Experiment 3).…”

In social interactions, humans can express how they feel in what (verbal) they say and how (non‐verbal) they say it. Although decoding of vocal emotion expressions occurs rapidly, accumulating electrophysiological evidence suggests that this process is multilayered and involves temporally and functionally distinct processing steps. Neuroimaging and lesion data confirm that these processing steps, which support emotional speech and language comprehension, are anchored in a functionally differentiated brain network. The present review on emotional speech and language processing discusses concepts and empirical clinical and neuroscientific evidence on the basis of behavioral, event‐related brain potential, and functional magnetic resonance imaging data. These data allow shaping our understanding of how we communicate emotions to others through speech and language. It leads to a multistep processing model of vocal and visual emotion expressions.

“…Semantic studies using this paradigm and manipulating SOA suggest that quick priming of word stimuli occurs in the LH (Burgess and Simpson, 1988; Abernethy and Coney, 1993, 1996; Koivisto, 1997, 1998). Priming can also occur in the RH, but at longer SOAs, suggesting semantic access re-occurs in the RH, with the involvement of attention (e.g., Brody et al, 1987; Burgess and Simpson, 1988; Koivisto, 1997, 1998; Chan et al, 2006).…”

Lateralized Affective Word Priming and Gender Effect

Affective priming research suggests that processing of affective words is a quick and short lived process. Using the divided visual field (DVF) paradigm, investigations of the lateralization of affective word processing have yielded inconsistent results. However, research on semantic processing of words generally suggests that the left hemisphere (LH) is the location where rapid processing occurs. We investigated the processing of affective (emotional) words using a combination of the DVF and affective priming paradigms, and four stimulus onset asynchronies (SOAs)—0, 150, 300, and 750 ms. The priming pattern yielded by males (n = 32) showed quick priming (at 0-ms SOA) of affective words in the LH; there was slower right hemisphere (RH) priming of affective words (at 750-ms SOA). In females (n = 28), both hemispheres were associated with quick priming of affective words (at 300-ms SOA in the LH and at 150-ms SOA in the RH). Results demonstrate the capability of both cerebral hemispheres in the processing of words with affective meaning, along with leading role of the left hemisphere in this process. This is similar to the results of semantic research that suggest access to word meanings occurs in both hemispheres, but different mechanisms might be involved. While the LH seems to prime affective words quickly regardless of gender, gender differences are likely in the RH in that affective word processing probably occurs slowly in males but rapidly in females. This gender difference may result from increased sensitivity to the emotional feature of affective words in females.
