Handedness and lexical skills in undergraduates.

Cortex; a journal devoted to the study of the nervous system and behavior - 1 Jun 1999

Annett M

Abstract excerpt

The right shift (RS) theory of handedness and cerebral dominance (Annett, 1972, 1985) suggested that individual differences for patterns of cerebral dominance may be associated with different types of risk to cognitive functions. The higher prevalence of dextrality than sinistrality in humans depends on a single gene (RS+) which facilitates left hemisphere specialisation for speech but at the expense of some...
