Hemispheric differences in memory search.
Abstract
Recent evidence suggests that memory demands contribute to visual field (VF) differences
in tachistoscopic recognition. The present experiment examined VF differences in a
memory-search paradigm using verbal stimuli (digits). The results demonstrated a significant
advantage to right VF-left hemisphere presentation that was associated with the memory
comparison stage of the task, but not with the perceptual encoding and response stages.
These data are more consistent with a relative efficiency model of hemispheric specialization
than with a functional localization model. © 1980.

My research focuses primarily on the cognitive neuroscience of aging: the investigation
of age-related changes in perception, attention, and memory, using both behavioral
measures and neuroimaging techniques, including positron emission tomography (PET),
functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI).
The behavioral measures have focused on reaction time, with the goal of distinguishing
age-related changes in specific cognitive abilities from mo
