Verbal and Visuospatial Performance and Aging: A Neuropsychological Approach.

Shelton, M. D.; And Others

Journal of Gerontology, v37 n3 p336-41 May 1982

Examined the hypothesis that aging and hemispheric laterality interact to produce relatively greater decrements in older individuals in right hemispheric dominant (visuospatial) than left hemispheric dominant (verbal) tasks in 24 early middle-aged and 24 older males. Data did not support the notion of a laterality effect associated with aging. (Author)
