Reading Comprehension and Lateral Preference in Normal Readers.
Rothlisberg, Barbara A.; Dean, Raymond S.
Psychology in the Schools, v22 n3 p337-42 Jul 1985
Examined the effect of lateral preference on passage comprehension and short-term memory function for 48 normal fourth-grade males. Lateralized readers recalled more information under auditory than written conditions; bilateral readers showed no preference. Between-group comparisons showed bilateral readers to comprehend significantly more than laterals in written conditions. (Author/NRB)
