# Both sides get the point **Opening (not a real abstract):** Both sides get the point: Hemispheric sensitivities to sentential constraint KARA D. FEDERMEIER HEINKE MAI and MARTA KUTAS Behavioral studies have consistently reported striking differences in the impact of sentence-level information on the processing of words presented in the right (RVF) versus the left (LVF) visual field, with context effects apparent only for RVF items. The consistent lack of such effects in the LVF has been taken to mean that right hemisphere language comprehension is largely insensitive to messagelevel meaning. We used the functional specificity afforded by event-related potential measures to assess this claim. Target words completing strongly and weakly constraining sentence contexts, in which constraint arose at the sentence level rather than from lexical associations, were presented laterally in **Authors:** [[HEINKE MAI]]
