Influence of Concurrent Auditory Input on Tactual Processing in Very Young Children: Developmental Changes.

Rose, Susan A.

Developmental Psychology, v21 n1 p168-75 Jan 1985

Right-hemispheric specialization for tactual processing was investigated in right-handed preschool children. Cross-modal transfer from touch to vision was assessed while children palpated shapes with hand while music was simultaneously played to ear. Left-hand advantage and lateralized nature of interference among older children supports right-hemispheric specialization for tactual processing. (Author/DST)
