  • Title: Stories about hands, brains, and minds.
    Author: Annett M.
    Journal: Brain Lang; 1998 Nov; 65(2):356-8. PubMed ID: 9784275.
    Abstract:
    The "extreme" versus "mild" classification of handedness of Natsopoulos et al. (1998) is not comparable to that of Annett (review, 1995) because 50% of the former sample were left-handers while the samples of the latter were unselected for handedness. The 20% of the Natsopoulos sample called "extreme" right-handers represent nearly 40% of the general population. The possibility cannot be ruled out that the advantage for right-handers in this sample was due to a small excess of disabled children among left-handers because there were no controls for hand skill or for reading ability.
