Abstract
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.
