Strength of handedness is a behavioral marker for hemispheric interaction of the cerebral hemispheres (Lyle, McCabe, & Roediger, 2008). Theoretically, individuals with increased hemispheric interaction should have a better understanding of the pragmatics of indirect speech acts. Children’s performance on “Do you remember…” (DYR) prompts may be explained in part by their degree of handedness. The present study investigated whether children’s degree of handedness predicted their responses to DYR questions. Results revealed strength of handedness scores were significantly correlated with accuracy. As brain laterality increased, children provided fewer accurate responses to DYR unanswerable questions. Forensic implications will be discussed.
