ROSS, Elliott D., Britt Anderson, and Anna Morgan-Fisher. “Crossed Aprosodia in Strongly Dextral Patients.” Archives of Neurology 46 (Feb 1989): 206-9.
Reports on two cases of strongly right-handed individuals, suffering from left-hemisphere infarctions, but exhibiting aprosodias, rather than aphasias. Both patients showed deficits both in the imparting and comprehension of affective prosody .The resulting syndrome is called a crossed aprosodia, which corresponds to the rare incidence of crossed aphasias. This finding of crossed aprosodias is interpreted as evidence that propositional and prosodic aspects of language are encoded in opposite hemispheres, regardless of whether dominance is normal or anomalous.
