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.

The relationships among preferred handedness, family history of sinistrality, sex of subject, and spatial visualization were examined in college students. Males outperformed females at all levels of handedness when measured as a continuous variable. Extreme handedness was associated with poorest performance. Decreased hemispheric specialization…

The purpose of this study was to examine whether people who differ in behavioral and self-report measures of lateralized seating preferences also differ in hypnotic susceptibility. Only right-handed subjects were used, and the associations between hypnotic susceptibility and seating preference were examined separately for males and females.…

Findings indicate minimal differences, on diagnostic tests, between children who exhibited torque and those who did not. Torque is defined as the circling of any X in a clockwise direction. Torque is not associated with learning problems in school. Diagnostic utility of torque should be carefully considered. (Author)

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)

The study evaluated the hypothesis that familial left-handed children, who presumably have bilateral representation of language ability, should show an impairment in spatial abiblity on 44 children (22 right handed, 11 familial left handed, and 11 nonfamilial left handed) whose average age was 8 years old.
