Right hemisphere patients' judgements on emotions.
A triadic comparison technique was used to assess brain-damaged patients' ability to judge the relatedness of a number of emotions, using either a pictorial or verbal material. Emotionally neutral material served as a control. Right hemisphere patients also differed from normals in processing emotions when presented with verbal material. It is suggested that central rather than only peripheral aspects in recognition of emotions are disturbed after injury to the right hemisphere.
