Manual laterality in hearing impaired and hearing children
… was designed to investigate the differences in hand preference and skilled hand movement between hearing impaired and non-hearing impaired children. The subjects were 78 hearing impaired (44 males, 34 females) and 68 normal hearing children (24 males, 44 females). Hand preference was measured …

Asymmetry of the humerus: The influence of handedness on the deltoid tuberosity and possible implications for osteometric sorting
… is present, if it is due to an individual’s hand preference, and if this asymmetry can adversely affect the osteometric sorting method. The osteometric sorting formulae for pair-matching was used to classify individuals as asymmetric when elements were considered significantly different in …

Response style differences between left- and right-handed individuals
… in response style between left- and right-handed individuals. Evolutionary and comparative backgrounds suggest that we should expect left- and right-handers to show differential responses in some similar situations and for the behaviour of left-handers to be adaptive and not necessarily …
