There is very CLEAR and convincing evidence that women are MORE lateralized than men.

There is very CLEAR and convincing evidence that women are LESS lateralized than men.

It is often suggested that women are LESS lateralized than men, but the observed gender differences are actually quite SMALL.

Damage to cerebellum causes problems for the control of muscles which are situated contralateral to the lesion.

The cerebellum consists of three major parts: the vermis, the intermediate zone, and the lateral zone.

The cerebellum is important for the learning of skilled motor movements (e.g., such as learning to play table tennis).

Decomposition of movement is a compensatory strategy often used by patients with cerebellar damage

There has never been a case of patient who is no longer able to objects, but can still recognize faces.

Patients suffering from prosopagnosia show different electrodermal skin response to familiar than to unfamiliar faces.

Some patients from suffereing prosopagnosia exhibit interference when asked to say someone's name, if the name is paired with incorrect face.

Cases have been reported of patients who are not longer able to identify fruits, but can still recognize vegetables.

Judgment of line orientation (which cannot be verbally encoded) relies more on the right than on the left hemisphere.

Judgment of line orientation relies on extrastriate areas.

Left hemisphere damage has no effect on constructional abilities.

There is a left visual field advantage for the apprehension of geometric relations.

Neglect is often due to damage to the parietal lobe.

Neglect always varies with sensory modality.

Sometimes patients suffering from neglect deny that certain body parts belong to them.

There are cases of neglect with respect to the depth plane, in which one region of space in depth (e.g. the near space) is ignored.

In this syndrome, only the production of grammatically correct sentences is impaired.

In this syndrome, only the comprehension of the syntatic markers needed for a correct interpretation of the sentences is impaired.

In this syndrome, both the production and comprehension of grammatical language components is impaired.

Despite the name of the syndrome, such patients experience no problems at all with respect to the production and comprehension of the grammatical components of language.

Positive affect is associated with more activity over the right than over the left prefrontal cortex.

There is no asymmetry at all in prefrontal activation when people are experiencing an extremely negative emotion.

Right frontal damage can cause a euphoric-indifference reaction.

Right frontal damage can cause a catastrophic reaction.
