| Résumé : |
In the light of recent evidence for an altered pattern of cerebral specialisation among the deaf, this study compared hand and foot preference of age-matched samples of deaf and hearing children. Significantly fewer deaf children were fully right-handed and there was a small shift to the left on the handedness continuum. This shift was more marked in children with a greater hearing-loss but was not particularly related to the cause of deafness. No significant difference was found in foot preference. The variation in hand preference is thought to be a function of the differences in hemisphere specialisation found in the deaf, but other explanations are also considered. |
