A Test of Some Models of Hemispheric Speech Organization in the Left- and Right-Handed

Open publisher page 78 citations

Abstract

A new method generates specific predictions concerning the expected frequencies of aphasia after unilateral injury to the brain in the left- and right-handed. These predictions are then compared with the observed data for all known studies between 1935 and 1973 to derive the best-fitting model of hemispheric speech lateralization in the left- and right-handed.
