The hemisphericity is present in about 25% of the population, that is, ¼ of the people processes information in the left hemisphere or the right hemisphere. The 75% remains of the population are represented by individuals that process the information in both hemispheres (bihemisfericity). In relation to the sample, composed of 90 individuals between 8 and 10 years, of both genres, was investigated how its manifest, in this community, the type of hemispheric processing.
