Aesthetic Preference and Lateral Dominance
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1988Aesthetic preferences for photographs with the main focal content either to the left or right of the photograph's center were examined in right- and left-handed subjects. Verbal responses or manual responses were required. In one experiment with 261 introductory psychology student-subjects, left-handers more often preferred photographs with the more ...

Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 1972
SUMMARYLaterality, hand preference and cerebral dominance are terms which are often used synonymously. They should be differentiated, however. A review of the literature demonstrates much (often eclectic) knowledge which is often not directly applicable clinically.

The D-K Scale of Lateral Dominance
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1969The D-K Scale of Lateral Dominance is a 5-min. measure of the degree of differentiation of sidedness and establishment of dominance (Dusewicz & Kershner, 1969). It includes individual lateralitg measures on each of four different assessment modes (handedness, footedness, visual, and auditory) as well as resultant measures of intramodal and intetmodal ...

Effects of dominance and laterality on iris recognition
2012 IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Workshops, 2012Eye dominance, the tendency to prefer to process visual input from one eye over the other, is a little discussed topic in iris biometrics. It has been seen in experiments that one eye tends to have improved performance over the other. One possible cause of this variation in performance could be the distribution of eye dominance among the subject ...

Lateral dominance and aesthetic preference
Neuropsychologia, 1976Abstract Left and right handers were found to differ in their preferences for mirror versions of vacation slides. Preferences of one group of right handers were predictive of preferences for another group of right handers, but not of left handers.

A theory on the biology of lateral dominance
Acta geneticae medicae et gemellologiae, 1960SummaryThe literature and results of studies on the subject of lateral dominance have been reviewed and discussed, and pertinent hypotheses advanced. The various known facts need not be considered contradictory if multiple genetic factors are hypothesized, interacting with an ontogenetic predisposition to left cerebral (and right somatic) dominance ...

Autosomal dominant primary lateral sclerosis
Neurology, 2007Diseases predominantly affecting the upper motor neuron include primary lateral sclerosis (PLS) and the hereditary spastic parapareses. PLS is a disorder characterized by spinal and bulbar spasticity due to degeneration of the upper motor neuron. We describe here a French Canadian family with progressive involvement of the upper motor neuron that ...

Is Eye Dominance a Part of Generalized Laterality?
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1975The laterality of eye and limb do not appear to be generally correlated as measured in 160 observers using a graded index. Sex differences emerge indicating more consistent eye and limb preferences as well as stronger eye dominance scores in male subjects. In addition, better consistency is found for right-eye dominants than for left.

Lateral Dominance and Reading Disability
Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1979Theory and research on the relation of lateral dominance to the causation of reading disability is reviewed. Direct measures of cerebral hemisphere functioning indicate that the left hemisphere is dominant for speech, sequential processing, and logical thinking in nearly all right-handers and the majority of left-handers, while the right hemisphere is ...

Lateral Masking as a Determinant of Global Dominance
Perception, 1992The term compound letter refers to a large (global) letter made up of small (local) letters. Reaction time to identify local letters is longer when local and global letters are different than when they are the same (the global dominance effect). The possible contribution of lateral masking to this effect was investigated.
