This article discusses the hypothesis of unilateral left hemisphere damage as an explanatory model for the neurological basis of specific language impairment considering both evidence challenging the theory as well as evidence supporting it. (Author/DB)

Subjects of several ages were asked to copy, trace, or point to the beginning of a set of shapes. The aim was to determine the extent to which sequential behavior was consistent across tasks. With one notable exception, behavior was consistent. (Author/BJG)

The lateral eye movement paradigm was employed to test the hypothesis that narrow categorizers, who are believed to be more analytic in information processing, make characteristic use of the left hemisphere, while broad categorizers, being more holistic, depend more on the right hemisphere. Results are discussed in terms of cerebral specialization…

Argues against the theory of hemispheric dominance and discusses the dangers of developing an educational system based on the false assumptions of two-brain theories. (SRT)

An alternative way of attempting to understand visual hemispheric specialization is presented. A theory of certain high-level processing subsystems is formulated in light of an analysis of problems that must be solved by the visual system and the constraints on the solutions to these problems. (Author/LMO)

To reverse the general decline in school performance, educationists must restructure learning experiences to balance the present fragmented and specialized linear processes with the sensory/spatial processes, so that an educational system commensurate with the neutral balance of both cerebral hemispheres might emerge.

The aim of this paper is to attempt to develop a neuropsychological theory of attention which is compatible with contemporary theories of human information processing. (Author/RK)

Author attempted to raise some valid points not answered by the published studies of the Reading Research Foundation and questioned the wisdom of the editors who allowed such research to be published in their journals. (Author/RK)

Authors suggest that consideration be given to maximizing the opportunies for systems in either cerebral hemisphere to develop fully in early life, when the child is essentially split-brained," so that developmental imbalance does not exist when the two hemispheres later begin to communicate. (Authors/MB)

A review of the representative research and theoretical literature on right hemisphere processes and psychophysiological models regarding the functional organization of the brain is presented. (Author)

Article discussed some educational implications of hemispheric lateralization of the human brain. (Editor/RK)
