The effects on auditory and linguistic deprivation of lateral preference of deaf children / P. WESTON in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 25-2 (April 1983)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 25-2 (April 1983) . - p.207-213 Titre : The effects on auditory and linguistic deprivation of lateral preference of deaf children Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : P. WESTON, Auteur ; J. WEINMAN, Auteur Année de publication : 1983 Article en page(s) : p.207-213 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques 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.
