The Torque Test as a Measure of Lateral Dominance

The Journal of Genetic Psychology, 1983
The present study was designed to assess the validity of the Torque Test as a measure of functional lateral dominance in children. One hundred forty-nine children were administered the Torque Test and The Harris Test of Lateral Dominance. A low but statistically significant correlation was found between torque and total lateral dominance.

Motoric Indicators of Laterality and Determination of Lateral Dominance in Schizophrenia

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1985
The literature suggests that schizophrenics exhibit reduced or reversed cerebral lateral dominance relative to normal control subjects. An hypothesis which predicted reduced or reversed cerebral laterality for schizophrenics was tested on 60 young, familially right-handed males, with 20 men in each of the following three groups: schizophrenic ...

Lateral Dominance in Children with Learning Disabilities

Physical Therapy, 1983
The purpose of the study was to investigate the occurrence of lateral dominance problems in a sample of children with learning disabilities. Ninety-one children (62 boys, 29 girls) who attended a school for children with learning disabilities were selected for the study.

Lateral Dominance in the Perception of Size and of Pain

Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1970
Perception of size and perception of pain were studied in a group of right-handed and a group of left-handed subjects. For right-handed subjects a significant relationship was found between these two types of perception in that subjects who tended to underestimate size with the dominant hand also had a higher pain threshold for that hand as compared ...

Differing roles for the dominant and non-dominant hands in the hand laterality task

Experimental Brain Research, 2011
Determining the handedness of visually presented stimuli is thought to involve two separate stages--a rapid, implicit recognition of laterality followed by a confirmatory mental rotation of the matching hand. In two studies, we explore the role of the dominant and non-dominant hands in this process.

EEG Correlates of Behavioural Laterality: Ear Dominance

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 2002
To examine whether ear dominance in a dichotic pitch-discrimination task is associated with asymmetrical activation of the two cortical hemispheres, ear dominance scores and electroencephalographic (EEG) laterality were correlated in two independent samples ( ns = 46 and 128).

Lateral Dominance, Pain Perception, and Pain Tolerance

Journal of Dental Research, 1972
It has been suggested that lateral dominance influences pain perception and pain tolerance ; but when electric stimulation was used on human teeth, there appeared to be no difference in the pain perception threshold values on each side of the midline.

Motor dominance and lateral asymmetry of the globus pallidus

Neurology, 1988
Animal experiments suggest that neurochemical and anatomic asymmetries exist within the basal ganglia, particularly the globus pallidus, and that these asymmetries correlate with both preferred direction of rotation and limb preference in lever pressing.

Annotation: Laterality and Cerebral Dominance

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 1991
This review will address three main questions relevant to child psychology and psychiatry: first, what is known about the nature of human cerebral dominance and how it develops; second, what can be said about the exceptions (left handers and those with right hemisphere or bilateral speech); and third, what if any are the implications for intellectual ...

Lateral Dominance in the Teaching of Bowling

Research Quarterly. American Association for Health, Physical Education and Recreation, 1957
Abstract A screening test for lateral dominance was administered to 167 college women. Twenty-six showed left dominance. Of this group four were taught to bowl left-handed, six were eliminated from the study for various reasons and 16 were taught to use their preferred hand, the right. All 20 subjects preferred using their right hand.
