Left-Handedness and Spatial Reasoning Abilities: The Deficit Hypothesis Revisited.

And Others; Gregory, R. J.

Intelligence, v4 n2 p157-59 Apr-Jun 1980

Left-handers with an inverted handwriting posture were compared with other left-handers and with right-handers on a spatial reasoning test. Results were consistent with the hypothesis that left-inverted subjects had relatively bilateral representation of verbal and spatial functions. Bilateral representation is assumed to be inefficient.
