Multiple sclerosis: a social-psychological perspective.

Many patients with multiple sclerosis experience strong feelings of alienation due to the nature of a disease with unknown etiology and largely ineffective treatment procedures. The familial and societal involvement in the process of alienation is discussed and some issues relating particularly to the institutionalized patient are identified.

Hemispheric asymmetry in reaction time to color stimuli.

The simple detection of colored stimuli in the right, center, and left visual fields was examined. 10 male subjects were used in a reaction time paradigm with color (red, green, or blue), field, and hand as independent variables. A significantly faster RT to stimuli presented in the left visual field was observed, and further the left visual field-left hand combination was the fastest of all the combinations of visual-field x hand. A significant interaction of color x field suggested that red may be processed on a higher order level even in a simple detection task.
