Abstract
The evidence for the cerebral organisation of and hemispheric specialisation for man's two principal psychological domains, language and visuospatial function, are selectively reviewed. Three theoretical models of cerebral organisation are outlined. Some neuropsychological and educational implications of sex differences in hemisperic specialisation are considered.Keywords
