On page 1 the final sentence in the second column should read: “Moreover, individuals with lower degrees of language lateralization as determined with fMRI (van Ettinger-Veenstra et al., ) or magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging (Catani et al., ) performed better on tests assessing verbal abilities (van Ettinger-Veenstra et al., ) or verbal memory (Catani et al., ) than individuals with higher degrees of lateralization.”
On page 7 the final sentence of the first column should read: “For the same reason van Ettinger-Veenstra et al. () might have failed with a sample size of n = 16 to find correlations between ear asymmetry and behavioral language tests in the non-forced condition of the Bergen DL task.”
On page 8 the final paragraph of the discussion should read: “As far as language is concerned, however, stronger lateralization seems to be associated with better performance in verbal abilities (Boles et al., ; Chiarello et al., ; Everts et al., ; Barth et al., , but see Catani et al., ; van Ettinger-Veenstra et al., ).”
