The Dichotic listening test was performed on 8 schizophrenics and 8 normal healthy controls. A positive correlation between laterality score and shift of order of reporting from one hemisphere to other was found in light handed scliizophrenics during active stage of the disease.

This suggests that schizophrenia is a left hemisphere abnormality with tempcral lobe dysfunction.
