Abstract
This paper addresses two separate questions. The first is substantive and concerns the nature of normal right-hemisphere involvement in lexical semantics. Three psycholinguistic paradigms have been adapted to lateralized tachistoscopic presentation and yield new evidence on hemispheric differences and independence in automatic, i.e., involuntary and unattended, lexical processes. This illustrates the usefulness of psycholinguistics to neuropsychology.
