Cecelia Pollack Ann Branden Intersensory Diagnostic and Learning Center New York, New York For more than a decade neuroscientists have been studying, with increased interest, a new area of brain function that has captured the imagination of educators everywhere---cerebral lateralization. Re- search has consistently supported Roger Sperry's findings that the left and right hemispheres of the brain organize and encode information in strikingly different ways despite overlap in function. Most people analyze speech and language predominantly via the left hemisphere while they process spatial relations, music, imagery and holistic organ- ization largely via the right hemisphere (Sperry, 1968; Kimura, 1973; Seamon and Gazzaniga, 1973). This is not, to be sure, a completely new concept. It is interesting to note that half a century ago, Samuel Orton, a neurologist, hypoth- esized that certain specific language disabilities in children were re- lated to incomplete development in the language-dominant hemi- sphere (Orton, 1937). While some modern researchers may no longer hold this view, new support is found for his belief that an intimate link exists between cerebral lateralization and cognitive performance. His notion that specific language disability, or dyslexia, is in some way related to faulty brain dominance retains a great deal
