Abstract
Cerebral asymmetry for speech was assessed by means of a verbal-manual interference paradigm in a sample of 16 right-handed men' at two diff erent speaking rates. Normal speech rate disrupted the right band sign ificantly more than the left, whereas increased speech rate showed no differences between right and left hands during verbal-manual interfer ence tasks. This result suggests a role of speaking speed in modifying cerebral motor functions related to speech production.
