Waldie, Karen E.; Hausmann, Markus – Neuropsychologia, 2010
Visual line bisection is a reliable and valid laterality task that is typically used with patients with acquired brain damage to assess right hemisphere functioning. Neurologically normal individuals tend to bisect lines to the left of the objective midline whereas those with right parietal damage bisect lines to the right. In this study children…

Rolfe, Mei Hsin Suzanne; Hamm, Jeff P.; Waldie, Karen E. – Brain and Cognition, 2008
Two versions of the line bisection task, paper-and-pencil and computerized, were administered to non-medicated children (5-12 years) with and without Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

Rolfe, Mei Hsin Suzanne; Hausmann, Markus; Waldie, Karen E. – Journal of Attention Disorders, 2006
Objective: The authors investigated line bisection performance in children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD) subtypes. Previous research with neurotypical children found a rightward bias with right-hand use and a leftward bias with left-hand use; however, research with AD/HD participants has failed to similarly measure the…
