Cerebral lateralization in deaf and hearing 10-year-old children was investigated using a dichhaptic task. While the performance of the hearing children was generally consistent with the literature on hemispheric specialization, the deaf children's lateral asymmetry was reversed on the verbal task. The possibility of right-hemisphere involvement in reading in deaf children is advanced to account for this discrepancy. It is also suggested that spatial information may be more salient for both hemispheres and may serve as the basic unit of informational organization in deaf children.
使用双手触觉任务对10岁失聪儿童和听力正常儿童的大脑偏侧化进行了研究。虽然听力正常儿童的表现总体上与关于半球特化的文献一致，但失聪儿童在语言任务上的左右不对称性却相反。有人提出，右半球参与失聪儿童阅读的可能性来解释这一差异。还有人认为，空间信息对两个半球来说可能更显著，并且可能是失聪儿童信息组织的基本单位。
