  • Title: Hand preference consistency and eye-hand coordination in young children during a motor task.
    Author: Mori S, Iteya M, Gabbard C.
    Journal: Percept Mot Skills; 2006 Feb; 102(1):29-34. PubMed ID: 16671594.
    Abstract:
    Indications of earlier research are that individuals exhibiting a consistent hand preference are better coordinated on selected motor tasks than peers with inconsistent hand preference. The present study examined eye-hand coordination via inter- and intramodal matching behavior by handedness groups for 55 5- and 6-yr.-olds using the Pinboard Test. Analysis indicated the Consistent group scored better, leading to the speculation that children with consistent laterality may possess an advantage in interhemispheric communication, especially when the task requires coordination of both limbs.
