Perhaps most clinicians experienced in mental hospital work suspect, at least, that left-handedness and stuttering occur relatively frequently among hospitalized epileptics. However prevalent this impression may be, it remains to be tested systematically. There has been little study of dextrality among the different diagnostic groups. Defects of speech among some groups have been studied considerably, among other groups very little.
