Modeling to explore and challenge inherent assumptions when cultural norms have changed: a case study on left-handedness and life expectancy

open access: yesArchives of Public Health, 2023
Background In 1991, Halpern and Coren claimed that left-handed people die nine years younger than right-handed people. Most subsequent studies did not find support for the difference in age of death or its magnitude, primarily because of the realization ...

Differences between left- and right-handers in approach/avoidance motivation: influence of consistency of handedness measures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Hand preference is often viewed as a troublesome variable in psychological research, with left-handers routinely excluded from studies. Contrary to this, a body of evidence has shown hand preference to be a useful variable when examining human behavior ...

Non-right-handedness in children born extremely preterm: Relation to early neuroimaging and long-term neurodevelopment.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
OBJECTIVE:This study aimed to define the prevalence and predictors of non-right-handedness and its link to long-term neurodevelopmental outcome and early neuroimaging in a cohort of children born extremely preterm (

Codonopsis pilosula twines either to the left or to the right [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We report the twining handedness of Codonopsis pilosula, which has either a left- or right-handed helix among different plants, among different tillers within a single plant, and among different branches within a single tiller.

Incidences of asymmetries for the palmar grasp reflex in neonates and hand preference in adults [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
It was hypothesized that adult handedness might be predicted from the neonatal grasp reflex. Grasp reflex was measured from right and left hand (10 trials for each hand) in neonates.

Handedness [PDF]

open access: yesGlasnik Antropoloskog drustva Srbije, 2015
Handedness (dominant arm) is a term used to describe the ability of using right or left arm not only for writing but also for performing delicate and precise tasks. In fact, dominant arm appears even in prehistoric time. From the aspect of evolution, dominant arm is seen as an ability which correlates with speech development, and as such is related to ...

Investigation on the Tachyonic Neutrino [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
According to the experimental data, it is still controversial whether the neutrinos, especially the electron-neutrino and muon-neutrino, can be considered as the fermionic spinorial tachyons, and there is still no reliable report on the existence of the ...

The Prevalence of Left-Handedness Is Higher Among Individuals With Developmental Coordination Disorder Than in the General Population

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2018
Many medical, psychiatric and neurological conditions have been characterized by a high prevalence of left-handedness or mixed-handedness. Several studies have indicated an elevated frequency of left-handedness in children with Developmental Coordination

DNA methylation in peripheral tissues and left-handedness

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Handedness has low heritability and epigenetic mechanisms have been proposed as an etiological mechanism. To examine this hypothesis, we performed an epigenome-wide association study of left-handedness.

Left and right handedness of fermions and bosons [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
It is shown, by using Grassmann space to describe the internal degrees of freedom of fermions and bosons, that the Weyl like equation exists not only for massless fermions but also for massless gauge bosons.
