Failure to support the right-shift theory's hypothesis of a 'heterozygote advantage' for cognitive abilities.

British journal of psychology (London, England : 1953) - 1 Feb 1999

Cerone L J, McKeever W F

Abstract excerpt

Annett's (1985) 'right-shift' theory of language dominance and handedness posits three genotypes, rs++, rs(+)- and rs(-)-, and Annett has hypothesized that there are cognitive ability correlates of these genotypes. The rs++ genotype person is held to be 'at risk' for maldevelopment of spatial or other right hemisphere-based cognitive abilities, and the rs(-)- genotype individual is held to be at risk for...
