Selective Listening Asymmetry in Preschool Children

Hiscock, Merrill; Kinsbourne, Marcel

Developmental Psychology, 13, 3, 217-224, May 77

Forty-two right-handed preschool children listened to dichotic presentations of digit names and were told to report only the digit arriving at the designated ear. A significant right-ear superiority was found, demonstrating a left lateralization of verbal processing in children as young as three years of age. (Author/JMB)
