A test of cerebral dominance for language was administered to 51 cerebral palsied adults. The test consisted of dichotically presented words and in normal speaking adults had previously demonstrated very marked right ear superiority, interpreted as left cerebral dominance. The group of cerebral palsied subjects did not show the predicted right ear superiority. This finding may represent a chance maldistribution of side of cerebral injury within the 51 subjects. If substantiated, however, it would suggest either that the cortical damage in cerebral palsy is commonly widespread or else that the inherent left cerebral dominance of neonates is less tenacious than is generally assumed.
对51名成年脑瘫患者进行了语言脑优势测试。该测试由双耳分听呈现单词组成，在正常的成年说话者中，此前已证明存在非常明显的右耳优势，这被解释为左脑优势。脑瘫受试者组未表现出预期的右耳优势。这一发现可能代表了51名受试者中脑损伤部位的偶然分布不均。然而，如果得到证实，这将表明要么脑瘫中的皮质损伤通常广泛存在，要么新生儿固有的左脑优势不如普遍认为的那样顽强。
