Hemisphere dominance, cognitive complexity, and nonverbal sensitivity. 1984

B B Domangue

It was inferred from data of 115 male undergraduates that hemispheric specialization was involved in how accurately individuals decode nonverbal cues. Results were opposing for eye-dominance and eye-movement groups (left-eyed superiority and left-movers' inferiority). There was no correlation between these two measures, which seem differentially sensitive. Cognitive complexity did not correlate with these measures.
