Inverted writing in right- and left-handers in relation to lateralization of face recognition
Abstract:
In a study with 157 right-handed and 69 left-handed college students, Gilbert's two-face choice task, which was used as an indicator of cerebral lateralization for face recognition, distinguished left-handers from right-handers. Right-handers primarily attended to the right side of the face (left visual field), while the group of left-handers had no visual field preference. Levy's hypothesis that inverted-writing left-handers are cortically lateralized like right-handers, and that inverted-writing right-handers are lateralized like left-handers found some support among the males. However, the females in both handedness groups performed in an opposite manner to that predicted by Levy's hypothesis.

Language formation and comprehension take place in the dominant hemisphere. The dominant hemisphere is responsible for understanding the meaning of spoken, written, or sign language, as well as the ability to communicate. For most people, the left hemisphere is the dominant one. The right hemisphere, then, gives tone and emotional context to the...
