Abstract
Evoked potentials (EPs) to a probe click stimulus were recorded from left and right temporal areas of dextral adults engaged in phonetic and prosodic processing of an emotionally charged tape recorded conversation. Attenuation of the probe EP amplitudes was significantly greater in the left and right hemispheres during the phonetic and prosodic tasks, respectively, indicating lateral dominance shifts depending on selective processing of linguistic vs affective cues conveyed by the same speech signals.
