title: A left-right identification scale for clinical use.
abstract: The contribution of this research is a left-right identification scale which is relatively simple to administer, easy to score, and subject to low error rates. The research is unusual in that, rather than use subjective procedures (i.e., inspect data patterns), a probabilistic model was used to access fit to a linear hierarchy to response data. The resulting validated scale should be of use to researchers and clinicians alike.
