    PubMed
    Summary

    This study found no significant differences in ear preference for hand-held objects between high- and low-achieving students. However, a significant correlation was observed between ear preference and overall cognitive dominance.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Developmental Psychology
    • Educational Psychology

    Background:

    • Ear preference, a non-language indicator of brain lateralization, is studied in relation to academic achievement.
    • Understanding auditory processing and its link to cognitive functions is crucial for educational interventions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate non-language ear preference in relation to academic achievement levels.
    • To explore the correlation between ear preference and composite dominance in students.

    Main Methods:

    • Measured non-language ear preference for hand-held objects in 120 high-achieving and 120 low-achieving students across Grades 4, 8, and 12.
    • Included 204 students with learning problems in the analysis.
    • Assessed the correlation between ear preference and composite dominance.

    Main Results:

    • No significant differences were found in the proportion of right-ear preferences between high- and low-achieving groups.
    • A significant correlation was identified between ear preference and composite dominance.

    Conclusions:

    • Ear preference for hand-held objects does not appear to differentiate between high and low academic achievers.
    • The significant correlation suggests that ear preference may be a relevant indicator of underlying cognitive or neurological organization.
