Hemispheric transfer and dyslexia: testing the deficit hypothesis for word and symmetry recognition using visual half-field tasks
These findings challenge the broad applicability of the interhemispheric transfer deficit theory in dyslexia, suggesting that such impairments may be task-dependent rather than domain-general. Future studies should further explore the conditions under which interhemispheric transfer deficits might occur in dyslexia.
