Tan, Lesley E. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982
Directional preference for horizontal hand movements was investigated in 49 right- and 49 left-handed four-year-olds using three drawing tests. Directionality for more complex perceptual-motor tasks has a different basis than directionality for simple tasks; such directionality is established at a later age but only for the right hand.

Annett, Marian – British Journal of Psychology, 1983
Studied hand skill and performance in children (N=115) of left-handed parents using peg moving tasks and soccer kicks. Concluded that being raised by two left-handed parents does little to hinder the expression of the rs plus gene. Correlations for handedness in families depend more on genetics than experience.

Brooks, Richard L.; Obrzut, John E. – Young Children, 1981
Discusses implications of lateral dominance in infants for infant stimulation and development as well as implications for parents and teachers. (Author/DB)

Torrance, E. Paul; Mourad, Salah – Gifted Child Quarterly, 1979
In a study of style of learning and thinking (hemisphericity) as it relates to scores on creativity tests, 28 graduate students were studied. (Author/PHR)

Sawyer, C. E.; Brown, B. J. – Educational Review, 1977
An interactive relationship between intelligence and right dominance in predicting reading ability is suggested as a reason for the variation of the results reported in the relevant literature. Discusses implications for theory and practice in relation to reading and reading difficulty. (Editor/RK)

Sherman, Jay L.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning and Memory, 1976
Research suggests that we process information by way of two distinct and functionally separate coding systems. Their location, somewhat dependent on cerebral laterality, varies in right- and left-handed persons. Tests this dual coding model. (Editor/RK)

Miezejeski, Charles M.; And Others – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 1994
Brainstem auditory evoked response latencies were studied in 80 males (13 with Down's syndrome). Latencies for waves P3 and P5 were shorter for Down's syndrome subjects, who also showed a different pattern of left versus right ear responses. Results suggest decreased lateralization and receptive and expressive language ability among people with…

Kozel, Robert J. – RE:view, 1995
This literature review examines the research on the use of right and left hands in the reading of braille. Results suggest that right-handed people may read braille more accurately with the left hand. Studies have also found differences between girls and boys and changes over the developmental period.

Poreh, A. M.; Whitman, R. D. – Journal of Creative Behavior, 1991
The relationship between creative thought processes and hemispheric asymmetry was examined in 47 right-handed male undergraduates. Four factors were identified, accounting for 75 percent of the total variance: Verbal Divergent Thinking Factor, Nonverbal Divergent Thinking Factor, Convergent Verbal Search Factor, and Cognitive Complexity Factor.…

Preen, Bryan S.; Townsend, Diana O. – Reading and Writing Quarterly: Overcoming Learning Difficulties, 1993
Suggests that "Johnny can't read" because of high testosterone levels in fetal development and subsequent poor brain lateralization. Presents instructional strategies based on the principle of factorized teaching for each of three discrete lateralization categories. Notes that the use of factorized teaching appears to have improved diagnostic and…

Bhatnagar, Subhash C.; Mandybur, George T. – Brain and Language, 2005
Fifteen neurosurgical subjects, who were undergoing thalamic chronic electrode implants as a treatment for dyskinesia and chronic pain, were evaluated on a series of neurolinguistic functions to determine if the stimulation of the centromedianum nucleus of the thalamus affected language and cognitive processing. Analysis of the data revealed that…

Ross, Danielle S.; Bever, Thomas G. – Brain and Language, 2004
The present study provides evidence that individuals who have different patterns of cerebral lateralization and who develop along different maturational time courses can attain comparable levels of language proficiency. Right-handed individuals with left-handed family members (left-handed familials, LHFs) showed a shorter sensitive period for…

Bancroft, W. Jane – 1995
This paper explores how Georgi Lozanov's Suggestopedia incorporates elements of modern right-brain research. For example, issues in Linda VerLee Williams's "Teaching for the Two-Sided Mind" that are applicable to Suggestopedia include visual thinking, fantasy, multisensory learning, music, and direct experience. In Robert Ornstein's "The…

Wesson, Linda Hampton; Holman, David – 1994
Replicating research completed in 1986, a study determined the relationship among cognitive laterality, gender, and reading comprehension for African-American students, as well as gender differences in cognitive laterality and in reading comprehension. Subjects, 40 African-American males, 41 African-American females, 12 White males, and 17 White…

Wesson, Linda Hampton; Holman, David – 1994
A study replicated a study done in 1986: both studies determined the relationship among cognitive laterality, gender, and reading comprehension for African-American students, and the relationship between hemispheric preference and reading comprehension or gender. A standardized reading test to measure reading comprehension and the Cognitive…
