Lateral preference and processing style

Lateral preference, as measured by the Lateral Preference Schedule, was related to the Simultaneous, Sequential and Achievement Scales of the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC) for a sample of 44 normal elementary school children. The results showed that, as eye preference and general laterality became more mixed, children tended to score lower on all three scales of the K-ABC. This relationship was strongest for tasks related to classroom achievement.
