Abstract

Mirror writing refers to the production of individual letters whole words or sentences in reverse direction Unintentional mirror writing has been observed in young children learning to write and interpreted as the manifestation of different cognitive impairments We report on mirror writing instances in a sample of 108 preschool children Results showed MW to be agerelated but independent from handedness and leftright discrimination abilities We propose an account of mirror writing as reflecting dissociation between acquired motor programmes for letter shape composition and unspecified spatial direction of hand movements Before learning to write the child’s directional cognitive system is assumed to be dichotomous thus inducing the production of randomly oriented asymmetrical letters
