Abstract
This paper relates the early work of Samuel Orton on cerebral dominance to the current neuropsychological concept of laterality as reciprocal functions of the two cerebral hemispheres. The genetic-cultural perspectives of laterality and functional asymmetry in relation to learning disorders are discussed. A balanced and integrative view of the cognitive contribution of the two hemispheres is needed.Entities:
