Peer reviewedFleminger, J. J.; And Others – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1978
Lateralization of response to the suggestion of a sensation was recorded in 100 psychiatric patients (16-60 years old) and related to their handedness. (Author)

Peer reviewedSunseri, Anita B. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982
To determine whether the idea is empirically supported that the majority of left-handers were intellectually inferior to right-handers, current research was examined. Inquiry indicated that the cognitive performance of left-handers was not significantly lower. (Author/CM)

Peer reviewedNewland, 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)

Peer reviewedLewandowski, Lawrence – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982
Hemispheric specialization tasks were given to different-aged boys. Asymmetries were demonstrated on manual, visual, and auditory tasks; however, the degree of asymmetries did not change across age groups. There appears to be a dissociation between visual and auditory perceptual asymmetries. (Author/RD)

Peer reviewedFudin, Robert; Lembessis, Elizabeth – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982
Apparent ambiguities in Levy and Reid's writing posture criteria and dissimilar criteria used by other investigators are discussed. This review suggests that an adequate test of hypothesized relations among handedness, hand posture during writing, sex, and cerebral organization requires development of a standard set of valid criteria for writing…

Peer reviewedAnd 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.…

Peer reviewedHughes, Richard L.; And Others – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982
In assessing reflective gaze preference, students were assigned to right-looking, left-looking, or mixed groups. Those with more clearcut preferences were shown to have superior records of athletic achievement, consistent with the model of functional cerebral space which predicts superior simultaneous task performance for more cerebrally…

Peer reviewedBiersner, Robert J.; Larocco, James M. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1980
Naval recruits attending a remedial reading program were compared to regular recruits on verbal, nonverbal, demographic, and eye-hand laterality measures. Verbal intelligence scores on the General Classification Test differentiated best between the two groups. Findings on race and laterality factors are also discussed. (Author/SJL)

Peer reviewedSappington, 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…
