  • Title: Cerebral specialization for spatial processing in adults with Down syndrome.
    Author: Elliott D, Pollock BJ, Chua R, Weeks DJ.
    Journal: Am J Ment Retard; 1995 May; 99(6):605-15. PubMed ID: 7632428.
    Abstract:
    Cerebral specialization for spatial processing in adults with Down syndrome was examined. In the first experiment, both control and right-handed subjects with Down syndrome exhibited no lateral advantage in a dihaptic shape-matching task, whereas left-handed subjects with Down syndrome displayed an expected left-hand advantage. In a visual field dot enumeration task in the second experiment, all groups exhibited left-field superiority. Thus, atypical cerebral organization of function in adults with Down syndrome appears to be confined to speech perception (Elliott & Weeks, 1993).
