Haptic Asymmetries in Persons with and without Mental Retardation.

Harris, Jill L.; Mosley, James L.

American Journal on Mental Retardation, v97 n1 p71-85 Jul 1992

Twenty-four adults with mild mental retardation were compared with equal-mental age children and adults without mental retardation on tactile processing asymmetries. Results suggest that hemispheric processing is dependent on information processing requirements rather than type of stimulus. (Author/JDD)
