Abstract
The present case study examines, through longitudinal neuropsychological assessment over a time span of 3 years, the course of pathological left-handedness (PLH; Orsini & Satz, 1986; Satz, Soper, & Orsini, 1988; Satz, Orsini, Saslow, & Henry, 1985; Satz, 1973; Soper & Satz, 1984) in a 6-year, 2-month-old female. The case illustrates for the first time, in a data-based and time-delineated fashion, the pattern of changes that have been previously attributed to this syndrome (Satz et al., 1985) including trophic alterations, abrupt shift in manual dominance, and probable interhemispheric reorganization detrimental to visual-spatial functions (crowding hypothesis). Theoretical and applied implications associated with the present findings are also addressed.
