Effects of Reading and Writing on Cerebral Laterality in Good Readers and Children with Dyslexia.

Kershner, John R.; Stringer, Ronald W.

Journal of Learning Disabilities, v24 n9 p560-67 Nov 1991

Twelve males (ages 8-12) with phonological dyslexia were compared to 12 age-matched good readers and 12 reading-matched students. Results showed that dyslexia is not related to incomplete lateralization or to a failure to inhibit verbal processing in the right hemisphere during reading and writing. (Author/JDD)
