Abstract

Right-handed Aboriginal and White Australian children were compared in Greater Sydney areas having substantial Aboriginal subpopulations. The 45 Aboriginal children showed significantly higher percentages of leftward conjugate lateral eye movements than did the 82 White children for two sets of 17 questions: the WISC-R Similarities test and an original set of questions. A relative right-hemisphericity of the Aboriginal children on the level of hemispheric activation is inferred, which complements the earlier finding of a right-hemisphericity of these same children on the level of performance of lateralized cognitive tests.
