The Performance of Left-Handed Participants on a Preferential Reaching Test
Direct linkDirect link
Mamolo, Carla M.; Roy, Eric A.; Bryden, Pamela J.; Rohr, Linda E. – Brain and Cognition, 2005
Previous research in our laboratory has examined the distribution of preferred hand (PH) reaches in working space with right-handed participants. In one study, we examined the effects of tool position and task demands on the frequency of PH reaches with right-handers (Mamolo, Roy, Bryden, & Rohr, 2004). We found that PH reaches were at a maximum…

Mamolo, Carla M.; Roy, Eric A.; Bryden, Pamela J.; Rohr, Linda E. – Brain and Cognition, 2004
Performance-based measures of hand preference have been developed as an objective method of examining handedness. Previous research using this method by Bryden, Roy, and Mamolo (2003) showed that both skill demands and the position of the object in working space affect preferential hand reaching. Specifically, preferred hand reaches predominated…
