Abstract

The magnitude of the dichotic ear advantage was assessed in kindergarten, second, fourth, and sixth grade children. 40 subjects (20 male, 20 female) participated in each grade. The results of a 2 × 2 × 4 (sex, ear, grade level) analysis of variance revealed a significant right ear advantage but no effect according to sex or grade level. Consequently, it seems that the magnitude of a dichotic ear effect does not increase with age nor is it related to sex. The results are discussed as they pertain to the possibility that channel capacity may be related to the dichotic stimulus dimension used.
