  • Title: Cerebral lateralization of global-local processing in left- and right-handed people.
    Author: Goodarzi MA, Taghavi MR, Zoughi MR.
    Journal: Percept Mot Skills; 2005 Jun; 100(3 Pt 1):734-42. PubMed ID: 16060435.
    Abstract:
    Cerebral lateralization of global-local processing of 70 left-handed and 70 right-handed students was compared using a computerized global-local task in a half-visual field paradigm. Analysis showed that left-handed individuals were slower than right-handed individuals in processing Globally Directed stimuli presented to the left visual field (right hemisphere). In addition, left-handed individuals showed smaller local superiority in the left hemisphere to the right-handed individuals. These findings are more consistent with Levy's prediction of spatial inferiority of left-handed individuals than Geschwind and Galaburda's or Annett's hypotheses.
