Role of the individual lateral profile in language mastering

Abstract

Findings of the sensory-motor asymmetry investigation are presented in the paper. Four groups of students differentiated on the basis of the dominant hemispheric activation and dominance of the acoustic, visual and motor analyzers are studied, psychophysiological and electrophysiological peculiarities in the examined groups being determined. The individual lateral profile is established to influence the successful language mastering. Results obtained during the investigation point to the close correlations between functional hemispheric asymmetry, types of the higher nervous activity and students' academic achievement.
