Abstract
The variable of opposite eye and hand dominance was reviewed as a possible sign of learning problems and as an indication of congenital or early developmental brain impairment [in man]. It was an independent variable in examining differences along several dimensions of psychological functioning as a possible discriminator of performance levels. It was a variable in discriminant function analysis to predict brain lesion processes. Although few results were statistically significant, the numerous analyses were remarkably convergent in suggesting that crossed dominance is related to poorer verbal learning skills and is a useful variable in differentiating various process diagnostic groups.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
