  • Title: Multiple birth-risk factors and handedness in elementary school children.
    Author: Dusek CD, Hicks RA.
    Journal: Cortex; 1980 Oct; 16(3):471-8. PubMed ID: 7214929.
    Abstract:
    The relationships between a set of birth-risk factors, i.e., sex, parity, and maternal age, and handedness were computed for 600 elementary school children. None of these birth-risk variables (or relevant combinations of them) were significantly related to handedness. These data further question the validity of the hypothesis that left-handedness results from stressful prenatal and birth conditions.
