  • Title: Multiple birth risk factors and the distribution of handedness.
    Author: Hicks RA, Elliott D, Garbesi L, Martin S.
    Journal: Cortex; 1979 Mar; 15(1):135-7. PubMed ID: 571779.
    Abstract:
    In this study, we attempted to maximize the likelihood of replicating Bakan's (1971, 1977a) observations that left-handedness was more probable in college students who were the progeny of "high-risk" births. To do this, the relationships between handedness and a combination of factors known to be associated with birth risk were computed. The observed relationships proved to be trivial and thus the validity of Bakan's hypothesis was questionned.
