     View Summary

    Although clinical and experimental studies have reported left-hemispheric dominance in language processing, right-hemispheric function is also suggested in language comprehension; however, its exact contribution remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the contribution of both hemispheres in processing words referring to animal and artefactual categories through electroencephalography and a visual half-field paradigm. In an early time widow, an amplitude difference between high and low similarities in semantic features was observed only in the categories with animals present in the Left Visual Field/Right Hemisphere condition. The following time windows did not have any visual filed effect. These results suggest that the right hemisphere contributes to early processing of semantic features through category-dependent processing. This finding is important for understanding the contribution of each hemisphere in semantic processing and therefore language development in children.
