A. Grabowska et al., INDIVIDUAL-DIFFERENCES IN THE FUNCTIONAL ASYMMETRY OF THE HUMAN BRAIN, Acta Neurobiologiae Experimentalis, 54(2), 1994, pp. 155-162
Standard models of hemispheric asymmetry assume the dychotomous divisi
on of functional competence between the two hemispheres. Individual su
bjects, however, often do not fit such prototypical patterns and show
great variation with respect to the functional differentiation of thei
r hemispheres. The present paper rewievs the results of some our inves
tigations on the effect of various subject related factors on brain la
teralization. Among these individual experience, gender and handedness
seem to be of most significance.
