The relationship between cerebral laterality and neuropsychological functions, particularly phonemic analysis, was examined in a group of 20 reading disabled (RD) and 20 nonreading disabled (NRD) 8‐ to 12‐year‐old boys. Compared with NRD children, RD children exhibited an equivalent right ear and left hemispheric superiority for reporting dichotically presented words. However, even with experimental control for attention, the RD boys’ performance was poorer than NRD boys with both left and right ears. In addition, the RD children displayed poor performance on nine scales of the Luria Nebraska Neuropsychological Battery‐Children's Revision (LNNB‐CR), and had the most difficulty with the scales and items designed to tap left hemispheric dysfunction (i.e., the Left Sensorimotor, Receptive Speech, Expressive Language, Reading, and Writing scales).
