Differences Between Left- and Right-Handers on a Measure of Creativity.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Newland, G. Anthony – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1981
A figural form of the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking was administered to 96 left-handed and 96 right-handed individuals. The left-handed subjects demonstrated greater creativity than the right-handed; females scored higher than males; and college-educated subjects scored higher than those with no college. (Author/BW)

Sex and Handedness in Simple and Integrated Task Performance.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
And Others; Berry, Gene A. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1980
Spatial and sequential tasks performed both independently and jointly were compared for 40 undergraduates grouped by sex and dominant hand. When both tasks were performed simutaneously, there was a significant advantage for right-handers and a slight advantage for males. This was attributed to hemispheric interference left-handers experienced.…

Measures of Lateral Dominance: Interrelationships and Temporal Stability.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Sappington, John T. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1980
This study measured test-retest reliabilities and interrelationships of four common measures of lateral dominance: dowel balancing, peg placement, grip strength, and conjugate lateral eye movement. Moderate reliabilities for all measures except grip strength were obtained. Subjects' sex may be an important reliability variable. Correlations among…

Further Investigation of the Relationship between Hypnotic Susceptibility and Classroom Seating.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Stam, Henderikus J.; And Others – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1981
In an attempt to replicate the finds of Sackeim, Paulhus, and Weiman (1979), three classrooms of college students were tested for hypnotic susceptibility, handedness, and seating preferences. No relationships between variables were found for males. For females, relationships were inconsistent. Relationships between hypnotic susceptibility and…

Success in Architecture: Handedness and/or Visual Thinking.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Peterson, John M.; Lansky, Leonard M. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1980
Some data on sex and handedness in relation to academic predictors and success in architectural education were reexamined. The new variable was the notion of visual thinking, measured by the manner, "visually" or "cognitively," of executing a simple line drawing. As expected, significant differences appeared between persons using these modes.…
