Hemispheric Dominance of Native American Indian Students.

Stellern, John; And Others

Journal of American Indian Education, v25 n2 p8-17 Jan 1986

Examines language and spatial lateralization of 49 elementary American Indian students using a cognitive-manual dual task model and psychoeducational assessment techniques. All students were found to be left-hemisphere dominant for language and some were lateralized to the left hemisphere for spatial function. Contradicts evidence of right-brain dominance in American Indians. (LFL)
