  • Title: Laterality and motor skills in four-year-olds.
    Author: Tan LE.
    Journal: Child Dev; 1985 Feb; 56(1):119-24. PubMed ID: 3987397.
    Abstract:
    From a population of 512 4-year-olds attending preschools, 41 children were identified as left-handed and 23 as lacking definite hand preference. Using the McCarthy Motor Scales and a fine-motor scale designed by the investigator, these children were compared with right-handers matched for age, sex, and preschool attended. T tests indicated no difference between left-handers and right-handers of either sex, but the children lacking hand preference had lower scores than right-handers. Implications for the education of children lacking handedness and possible sex differences are discussed.
