研究人员对8名患有右侧婴儿偏瘫的儿童和8名患有左侧婴儿偏瘫的儿童进行了相互比较，并与13名同胞对照进行了手灵巧性测试、扩展神经学检查和一系列神经心理学测试。尽管言语智商相似，但在句法意识和重复语义连贯材料的测试中，右半瘫儿童的表现明显不如左半瘫儿童和对照组。两个偏瘫组在短期记忆任务、重复数字和对位命名任务上的表现都不如对照组，尽管差别并不明显。在两组偏瘫患者中，左手损伤与较差的算术计算能力之间也存在很强的相关性，这与目前关于某些数学功能右偏化的观点一致。这些结果总体上支持了一个前提，即在某些语言任务中存在先天的半球组织。
Eight children with right infantile hemiplegia and eight with left infantile hemiplegia were compared with each other and with 13 sibling controls on a test of manual dexterity, an extended neurological examination and a battery of neuropsychological tests. Right‐hemiplegic children performed significantly less well than left‐hemiplegic children and the controls on measures of syntactical awareness and the repetition of semantically coherent materials, despite similar verbal IQs. Both hemiplegic groups tended to perform less well than the controls, although not significantly so, on the short‐term memory task, repetition of digits, and on a task of confrontation naming. There was also a strong correlation between left‐hand impairment and poor arithmetical computation skill in both hemiplegic groups, which conforms with present views as to right‐lateralization of certain mathematical functions. The results as a whole support the premise that there is innate hemispheric organization for some language tasks.
