Task-dependent Hemispherib Latehalization in Eeg as a Function of Relative Achievement and Reading Strategy

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between taskrelated cerebral hemisphere functioning and relative academic achievement levels in young males. Relative achievement is defined as the extent to which a child is achieving at levels expected for him on the basis of IQ scores. The primary objective is to demonstrate differences in hemispheric specialization that are related to academic patterns frequently seen in learning disabled children. Cerebral functions are assessed through electroencephalographic measurement techniques.
