DESCRIPTION:Dr. Christine Mohr\, Department of Experimental Psychology\, U
 niversity of Brisol\, UK\nMagical belief and language processing in the tw
 o cerebral hemispheres\nMagical thinking and/or belief is one of the produ
 ctive symptoms reported from patients with\nschizophrenia\, and is\, at th
 e same time\, a common experience in the general population. In both\ninst
 ances\, this thinking style has been related to an attenuated left hemisph
 eric dominance for\nlanguage\, and a consecutive disinhibition of remote a
 ssociative processing in the right hemisphere.\nWhile this right hemispher
 e contribution to language processing in the patient population might impi
 nge\nnormal conversational capacities\, the same processes in the general 
 population might facilitate creative\nthinking. Studies are presented whic
 h demonstrate and support this view
