Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Merz, Emily C.; Maskus, Elaine A.; Melvin, Samantha A.; He, Xiaofu; Noble, Kimberly G. – Child Development, 2020
The mechanisms underlying socioeconomic disparities in children's reading skills are not well understood. This study examined associations among socioeconomic background, home linguistic input, brain structure, and reading skills in 5-to-9-year-old children (N = 94). Naturalistic home audio recordings and high-resolution, T1-weighted MRI scans…

Left-Hemisphere Language Specialization: Consistency in Hand Preference and Sex Differences.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kee, Daniel W.; And Others – Child Development, 1987
Left-hemisphere language specialization in right-handed children was tested in children previously classified as consistent or nonconsistent in their hand preference. Results showed that both male hand preference groups demonstrated asymmetric interference in dual task tapping performance. In contrast, only females associated with consistency in…

Neurobiological Aspects of Language in Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Witelson, Sandra F. – Child Development, 1987
Discusses the relevance of the study of the neurobiology of cognitive development, for an understanding of both the neural bases and the nature of cognition. Also considered are the age at which hemisphere specialization first appears and whether hemisphere specialization changes over time. (PCB)
