title: [A further study and discussion on mirror writing and the development of the Chinese written language].
abstract: Mirror image writing was done in 72 preschool children, 40 school children, 40 normal adults and 37 stroke patients with or without aphasia. The results showed that total mirror image writing was demonstrated in only one case and partial mirror image writing in 62 (32.8%). The cases of mirror image writing with the left hand in the preschool children, school children, normal adults and patients with stroke were found in 45.8%, 10.0%, 2.5% and 24.3% respectively. The relationship between mirror image writing and left or right hand disorientation and that between mirror image writing and visual aid were observed.
