In light of a recent hypothesis, the concordance between patterns of lateral preference and sensory integration were examined. Specifically, the scores for 48 normal preadolescents on a multifactor measure of lateral preference and subtests of the Visual Aural Digit Span Test were interrelated. The results indicated a tendency for intersensory integration scores to decrease as patterns of general lateral preference became more mixed and to increase as foot preference became more stable. No reliable relationships were found between lateral preference and intrasensory scores. The results were interpreted as tentative support for problems in visual-verbal integration consistent with more mixed patterns of lateral preference.

Key words: digit span; lateral preference; cross-modal integration.
