Genetic vs. environmental contributions to human handedness: insights gained from studying individuals with unilateral hand injuries.

Behavior genetics - 1 Sept 1995

Porac C

Abstract excerpt

Four hundred eleven individuals who had suffered temporary unilateral hand injuries were assessed on five hand preference behaviors after their recovery. Measures of shifts to contralateral hand use experienced during and after the recovery period were taken. The best predictor of hand use shifts during the injury recovery period was whether the injury was to the preferred or nonpreferred hand. The incidence of...
