Hemisphericity and Creativity: A Look at the Relationships among Elementary-Age Low-Income Hispanic Children.
Mitchell, Bruce M.
Educational Research Quarterly, v12 n1 p2-5 1987-88
Thirty-six above-average, low-income Hispanic children (in grades two-six) in a metropolitan area participated in a special year-long program designed to improve their self-esteem and strengthen thinking and learning skills. Hemisphericity and creative thinking measurements revealed that the sample had high right hemisphere scores and slightly subnormal creativity scores. (TJH)
