Abstract
The purpose of the current study was to examine the effect of side of lesion on neuropsychological performance in childhood stroke. While laterality effects have been shown fairly consistently in adults who have experienced stroke, results from studies on children who have experienced childhood stroke are not as clear. Numerous methodological differences between previous studies on laterality effects in childhood stroke make it difficult to draw overall conclusions regarding laterality findings. The current study aimed to study a single group of children who experienced stroke in childhood across a number of cognitive domains. The participants were 13 children/adolescents with left hemisphere lesions and 16 children/adolescents with right hemisphere lesions, with a range of onset from prenatal to 13 years. All participants were administered a broad battery of neuropsychological tests including tests of intelligence, achievement, language skills, visuospatial skills, memory, and executive functioning. No significant differences were found between the groups on any of the measures and the calculated effect sizes were small for all but one of the measures examined. These results have implications for a greater understanding of the ability of the young brain to reorganize after childhood stroke. (JINS, 2004,10, 698–708.)
