Development of the capacity for tactile information transfer between hemispheres in normal children

D Galin, J Johnstone, L Nakell, and J Herron

The hypothesis of less direct interaction between hemispheres in young children was supported by a behavioral test. Fabric samples were compared with either the same hand (same hemisphere) or with opposite hands (between hemispheres). Crossed errors were a significantly larger proportion of total errors in 3-year-olds than in 5-year-olds.
