Cerebral Dominance and Childhood Learning Disorders: Theoretical Perspectives.

Dean, Raymond S.

School Psychology Review, v10 n3 p373-80 Sum 1981

An examination of Orton's early hypothesis of inconsistent cerebral dominance for linguistically disabled children in light of some 50 years of research is provided. Although a hypothesis based on data from nonintrusive measures of functional asymmetry with learning impaired children is postulated, caution in this area is suggested. (Author/AL)
