| Abstract: | The frequency of skin-galvanic (SGR) and motor reactions was analyzed at recognition of human emotional state by mimics. 31 healthy persons and 54 patients with lesions of temporal and frontoparietal areas of both cerebral hemispheres were examined. It has been established that the process of recognition takes place by stages: at first - at intuitive level accompanied by SGR, and then at the level of making decision completed by a motor or verbal reaction. Efficiency of recognition at the first stage does not so much depend on lesion localization as at the second stage. Pathology of the left hemisphere affects mainly the stage of making decision, and of the right one - the process of recognition as a whole. |
