How brain asymmetry relates to performance – a large-scale dichotic listening study
by Hirnstein, M., Hugdahl, K., and Hausmann, M. (2014). Front. Psychol. 4: 997. doi: 10. 3389/fpsyg. 2013. 00997

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., 2010 ) or magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging ( Catani et al., 2007 ) performed better on tests assessing verbal abilities ( van Ettinger-Veenstra et al., 2010 ) or verbal memory ( Catani et al., 2007 ) 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. (2010) 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., 2008 ; Chiarello et al., 2009 ; Everts et al., 2009 ; Barth et al., 2012 , but see Catani et al., 2007 ; van Ettinger-Veenstra et al., 2010 ).”
