Temperament differences in toddlers with early unilateral right‐ and left‐brain damage

Abstract

This article documents temperament differences between toddlers with early left‐ versus early right‐hemisphere injury. Consistent with the findings in adults of right‐hemisphere dominance for emotion, children 1 to 3 years old with congenital right‐hemisphere damage are already more difficult than their counterparts with left‐hemisphere damage.
