N2  - Two experiments are described in which simple reaction times (RTs) to lateralized visual stimuli were measured in normal subjects during negative affect and during recollection of everyday life scenes. In both experiments the mental activity produced a remarkable increase of RTs with respect to a control situation without interfering activity. During production of the negative affect there was a selective lengthening of RTs mediated by the right hemisphere. The role of the right hemisphere in producing emotions is discussed.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
