| Abstract | Abstract The present experiment addressed the hypothesis that children with language disorders may have atypical patterns of hemispheric asymmetry of function. Ten children with various language disorders and 10 normal controls were given a 480 trial consonant-vowel dichotic listening test to obtain a measure of speech laterization. The data were analyzed in terms of performance as a function of whether the two dichotic inputs shared a phonetic feature (voice or place), in addition to percent correct for each ear. Group analysis of the data revealed no significant differences between the experimental children and the controls with respect to the magnitude of the right ear advantage or the effect of shared phonetic features, although the experimental children reported significantly fewer syllables overall. An analysis of the performance of individual children, however, showed that the size of the ear asymmetry was inversely related to severity of linguistic impairment. |
