Perceptual Feature Sorting of Brain-Injured Patients: Left versus Right Hemisphere Preferences.

Garcia, Jane Mertz; Stick, Sheldon L.

Journal of Communication Disorders, v19 n5 p395-404 Oct 1986

A 20-item Piagetian-type sorting task was presented to 12 unilaterally brain-injured adult patients and 12 non-injured controls. The left hemisphere brain-injured subjects and the controls showed preferences for the features of shape and texture. In contrast, the right hemisphere brain-injured subjects preferred the feature of size. (Author)
