Laterality and Directional Preferences in Preschool Children.

Tan, Lesley E.

Perceptual and Motor Skills, v55 n3 pt 1 p863-70 Dec 1982

Directional preference for horizontal hand movements was investigated in 49 right- and 49 left-handed four-year-olds using three drawing tests. Directionality for more complex perceptual-motor tasks has a different basis than directionality for simple tasks; such directionality is established at a later age but only for the right hand.
