In the present study, prenatal testosterone levels were measured in amniotic fluid obtained from second trimester amniocentesis. Subjects were 53 10-year old children (25 girls and 28 boys) who have been followed longitudinally since birth as part of the Amniocentesis Follow-Up Study (Finegan et al., 1984, 1985, 1990). Relations were examined between prenatal testosterone and three asymmetries; handedness, lateralization of speech, and lateralization of affect. In girls, prenatal testosterone levels were positively associated with handedness scores and with language lateralization. Girls with higher testosterone levels were more strongly right-handed, and had stronger left-hemisphere language representation. In boys, prenatal testosterone levels were negatively associated with lateralization of affect. Boys with higher testosterone levels had greater right-hemisphere specialization for emotional processing. In all cases where relations were observed, higher levels of prenatal testosterone were associated with greater lateralization in the direction of the population bias. This pattern of results is most consistent with Witelson's (1991) hypothesis that testosterone acts prenatally to promote lateralization of function. (Abstract shortened by UMI.).
