Readers of the Roman script must “unlearn” some forms of mirror generalization when
processing printed stimuli (ie, herb and herd are different words). Here we examine whether …

Research has shown that recognizing words that contain reversal letters (eg, b/d) is more
difficult than recognizing words that do not contain them. Although none of the current …

The present study examined the development of mirror writing in typically developing
children using a longitudinal design involving 166 children initially aged 4–5 years. The …

Most studies of mirror writing have focused on specific populations (eg, pathological cases)
or conditions (eg, right-handed individuals writing with their left hand); hence, many simple …

The writing attempts of children often feature mirror-reversals of individual letters. These
reversals are thought to arise from an adaptive tendency to mirror-generalize. However, it is …

In left-to-right writing cultures, spontaneous mirror writing of letters and digits in preliterate
children appears more frequently on left-than right-facing characters. A compelling theory …

This article presents a simple theory according to which the left–right reversal of single digits

Non-pathological, spontaneous mirror writing, whether complete or partial, has long been
associated with writing with the left hand and attributed to the fact that abductive writing …
