Research
Interests
My
main research interests lie in cognitive and developmental neuropsychology,
especially the study of the development of handedness and the psychological
correlates of individual differences in lateralization of function as
indexed by direction and strength of handedness. I also have long-standing
interests in the history of theory and research on localization of function
in the nervous system.
Please
contact me if you have any questions about my research.
