What is it about?
Evolution has certainly contributed to the development of a symmetrization process in our brains, enabling us to recognize an object oriented to the left (for example) as soon as we've seen it oriented to the right. The authors suggest that this process may be behind the frequent left-right reversal of letters and digits by five- to six-year-olds.

Why is it important?
This suggests that the reversal of digits and letters at the start of learning to write is by no means pathological in origin, but, on the contrary, part of normal development.
