In a previous study of the comprehension of linguistic prosody in brain-damaged subjects, S. R. Grant and W. O. Dingwall (1984. The role of the right hemisphere in processing linguistic prosody, presentation at the Academy of Aphasia, 1984) demonstrated that the right hemisphere (RH) of nonaphasic patients plays a prominent role in the processing of stress and intonation. The present study examines laterality for affective and linguistic prosody using the dichotic listening paradigm. Both types of prosody elicited a significant left ear advantage. This advantage was more pronounced for affective than for linguistic prosody. These findings strongly support previously documented evidence of RH involvement in the processing of affective prosody (R. G. Ley & M. P. Bryden, 1982. A dissociation of right and left hemispheric effects for recognizing emotional tone and verbal content, Brain and Cognition, 1, 3-9). They also provide support for the previously mentioned demonstration of RH involvement in the processing of linguistic intonation (S. Blumstein & W. E. Cooper, 1974. Hemispheric processing of intonation contours, Cortex, 10, 146-158; Grant & Dingwall, 1984).
在之前一项关于脑损伤患者对语言韵律理解的研究中，S. R. 格兰特和W. O. 丁沃尔（1984年。右半球在处理语言韵律中的作用，1984年在失语症学会上的报告）证明，非失语症患者的右半球（RH）在重音和语调处理中起重要作用。本研究使用双耳分听范式来检验情感韵律和语言韵律的偏侧性。两种韵律都引发了显著的左耳优势。这种优势在情感韵律方面比在语言韵律方面更明显。这些发现有力地支持了先前记录的关于右半球参与情感韵律处理的证据（R. G. 莱伊和M. P. 布赖登，1982年。识别情感语调与言语内容时左右半球效应的分离，《大脑与认知》，第1卷，第3 - 9页）。它们还为先前提到的右半球参与语言语调处理的证明提供了支持（S. 布卢姆斯坦和W. E. 库珀，1974年。语调轮廓的半球处理，《皮层》，第10卷，第146 - 158页；格兰特和丁沃尔，1984年）。
