  • Title: Distributions of hand preference and hand skill asymmetry in preschool children: theoretical implications.
    Author: Curt F, Maccario J, Dellatolas G.
    Journal: Neuropsychologia; 1992 Jan; 30(1):27-34. PubMed ID: 1738467.
    Abstract:
    We describe the distributions of hand skill asymmetry for the Peg-moving task and the Graphic test among 765 preschool children. A single normal component was observed for the Peg-moving task, but two normal components for the Graphic test, which corresponded primarily to the right- and left-handed children. Hand Preference and Graphic test hand skill asymmetry were age-dependent, but there was no age effect on the PMT hand skill asymmetry. Results are discussed in relation to the Annett's Right Shift theory.
