| Abstract | Presented a dichotic syllable task to 44 4-yr-old male and female children from low and middle socioeconomic classes (SEC). Males from both groups evidenced significant right-ear advantages, but no females from either group did so. The similar-ear advantage in low and middle SEC populations replicates a previous study with 6-yr-olds and suggests that the variations in rearing conditions which occur in these classes do not affect hemispheric lateralization for speech perception. |
