Studies of cerebral asymmetry generally support verbal-analytic functions on the left hemisphere and nonverbal, integrative functions on the right. The hypothesis of this investigation was that right hemisphere functions have greater significance for adaptive behaviors, i.e., verbal-analytic abilities are not specifically related to environmental adjustment or coping skills. Right hemispherically strong children were compared with normal controls along six behavioral parameters. The results supported environmental awareness and adaptive skills as related more to the right hemisphere than the left. It is suggested that self-monitoring of behavior and possibly affective integration appear to be more related to the processing of spatial, sequential information on the right hemisphere than verbal-analytic functions on the left.
对大脑不对称性的研究通常支持左半球具有言语分析功能，而右半球具有非言语、整合功能。本研究的假设是，右半球功能对适应性行为具有更重要的意义，即言语分析能力与环境适应或应对技能并无特定关联。沿着六个行为参数，对右半球功能较强的儿童与正常对照组进行了比较。结果表明，环境意识和适应技能与右半球的关联程度高于左半球。研究表明，行为的自我监控以及可能的情感整合似乎与右半球对空间、顺序信息的处理更为相关，而非与左半球的言语分析功能相关。
