Hand preference, performance abilities, and hand selection in children

SM Scharoun, PJ Bryden - Frontiers in psychology, 2014 - frontiersin.org
It is widely know that the pattern of human handedness is such that approximately 90% of
the population is right handed with the remainder being left handed, at least in the adult …

The contributions of vision and haptics to reaching and grasping

KD Stone, CLR Gonzalez - Frontiers in psychology, 2015 - frontiersin.org

Hand preference for precision grasping predicts language lateralization

CLR Gonzalez, MA Goodale - Neuropsychologia, 2009 - Elsevier
We investigated whether or not there is a relationship between hand preference for grasping
and hemispheric dominance for language—and how each of these is related to other …

Hand use for grasping in a bimanual task: evidence for different roles?

KD Stone, DC Bryant, CLR Gonzalez - Experimental Brain Research, 2013 - Springer
It has been proposed that the two hands play different roles during bimanual object
interaction. The right hand takes on an explorative, highly precise, manipulative role while …

Categories of manual asymmetry and their variation with advancing age

LA Teixeira - Cortex, 2008 - Elsevier
Manual asymmetries were analyzed in 18-to 63-year-old right-handers in different motor
tasks. This analysis aimed at describing the asymmetry profile for each task and assessing …
