Handedness as a continuous variable with dextral shift: sex, generation, and family handedness in subgroups of left- and right-handers.

Behavior genetics - 1 Jan 1994

Annett M

Abstract excerpt

Percentages of left-handed relatives were compared between subgroups of left-handers and of right-handers to test the prediction that the subgroups are ordered for probability of carrying the rs +/gene (hypothesized by the right-shift theory of handedness). Data included families of undergraduates and Open University students who described their children as well as other relatives. Linear relationships were found...
