“…Generally, righthand function in the impaired group correlated with language tasks and language-based achievement. The fact that left-hand function correlated very significantly with math achievement scores agrees with current theories of righthemisphere function (Denckla 1979, Davidson andMarolda 1980). Mathestimating skill and the concept of number and of sets apparently are best developed in youngsters with good visuo-spatial sense.…”

SUMMARY Eight children with right infantile hemiplegia and eight with left infantile hemiplegia were compared with each other and with 13 sibling controls on a test of manual dexterity, an extended neurological examination and a battery of neuropsychological tests. Right‐hemiplegic children performed significantly less well than left‐hemiplegic children and the controls on measures of syntactical awareness and the repetition of semantically coherent materials, despite similar verbal IQs. Both hemiplegic groups tended to perform less well than the controls, although not significantly so, on the short‐term memory task, repetition of digits, and on a task of confrontation naming. There was also a strong correlation between left‐hand impairment and poor arithmetical computation skill in both hemiplegic groups, which conforms with present views as to right‐lateralization of certain mathematical functions. The results as a whole support the premise that there is innate hemispheric organization for some language tasks. RÉSUMÉ Evidence de fonction hémisphérique différente chez les I.M.C. à forme hémiplégique Huit Hémiplégies infantiles droites et huit hémiplégies infantiles gauches ont été comparées entre elles et avec 13 contrôles dans les fratries sur un test de dextérité manuelle, un examen neurologique approfondi et une batterie de tests neuropsychologiques. Les hémiplégies droites ont réussi significativement moins bien que les hémiplégies gauches et les contrôles sur les mesures de prise de conscience syntaxique et la répétition d'un matériel sémantiquement cohérent, en dépit de QI verbaux semblades. Quoique de façon non significative, les deux groupes hémiplegiques ont réussi moins bien que les contrôles aux tâches de mémoire immédiate, de répétition de chiffres et des tâches de désignation. Une forte corrélation a été notée entre l'infirmité de la main gauche et la pauvreté du calcul mental dans les deux groupes hémiplégiques. Cette dernière donnée est en accord avec les vues habituelles de la latéralisation droite de certaines fonctions mathématiques. L'ensemble des résultats favorise l'idée initiale qu'il y a une organisation hémisphérique innée pour certaines tâches de langage. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Nachweis einer unterschiedlichen Funktion der Hemisphären bei Kindern mit einer hemiplegischen Cerebralparese Acht Kinder mit einer rechtsseitigen infantilen Hemiplegie und acht Kinder mit einer linksseitigen infantilen Hemiplegie wurden untereinander und mit 13 Geschwistern als Kontrollen verglichen. Manuelle Geschicklichkeit, eine gündliche neurologische Untersuchung und verschiedene neurophysiologische Tests wurden als Kriterien zugrunde gelegt. Trotz eines ähnlichen verbalen IQs hatten die Kinder mit rechtsseitiger Hemiplegie bei den grammatikalischen Fähikeiten und bei der Wiederholung eines semantisch zusammenhängenden Stoffes signifikant schlechtere Leistungen als die Kinder mit linksseitiger Hemiplegie und als die Kontrollen. Beide hemiplegischen Gruppen hatten beim Kurzzeitgedächrnis, bei der Wiederholung von Za...

“…Field studies applying a “psychological autopsy” protocol to several cluster outbreaks include comparison groups and detailed analyses of the relationships between the suicides in an attempt to identify possible mechanisms of suicide outbreaks. The Centers for Disease Control and the New York State Psychiatric Institute are conducting two such case studies (Davidson, personal communication, 1988; Shaffer & Gould, 1984). “The term ‘psychological autopsy’ was coined to describe a procedure that involves reconstruction of the life‐style and circumstances of the victim, together with details of behaviors and events that led to the death of that individual” (Farberow & Neuringer, 1971; see Brent, Chapter 4, this volume).…”
