Abstract

The present study did not confirm postulated relationships between lateralized cerebral dysrhythmia in children and their intelligence-test scores. Investigators have observed that adult subjects with right lateralized cerebral involvement show higher verbal than performance Wechsler-Bellevue quotients. The reverse is true of adults with left-lateralized cerebral damage. The authors tentatively concluded that chronicity of cerebral involvement may be an important prior condition to the selective effect of lateralized cerebral damage on verbal and performance abilities. Whether cerebral dysrhythmia in children reflects brain damage remains a moot question.
