[Origin of mirror writing in children].
In left-handedness it is not the right hemisphere which usually dominates, as previously assumed but rather the left, as recent studies show. The development of right- and left-handedness is considered here in the light of the findings of Eccles, who substantiated the hypothesis of a relationship between the brain and a consciousness which is to be seen as basically independent of this organ. Right- and left-handedness are engendered by the interplay between consciousness and certain liasion areas in the brain. When the subject's will dictates a movement, consciousness exercises a strong influence on the impulse pattern of the modules. In genetically conditioned left-handedness it is not primarily motoric, but rather neuronal factors which are responsible for the reversal in the direction of writing and mirror-image script. Left-handed children who produce mirror-handwriting can be retrained to write normally by exercises and by assimilating conscious experience.
