A new family handedness sample with findings consistent with X-linked transmission
A family handedness study of 2632 families and 8605 offspring was conducted. Of the 2632 parental couples, there were 2123 in which both parents were right-handed (RR), 232 in which the mother was left-handed and the father right-handed (LR), 254 in which the mother was right-handed and the father was left-handed (RL), and 23 in which both parents were left-handed (LL). Results showed some important differences from the composite results of four …
Failure to support the right-shift theory s hypothesis of a 'heterozygote advantage' for cognitive abilities
Annett's (1985) 'right-shift' theory of language dominance and handedness posits three genotypes, rs ++, rs +− and rs −−, and Annett has hypothesized that there are cognitive ability correlates of these genotypes. The rs ++ genotype person is held to be at risk for maldevelopment of spatial or other right hemisphere-based cognitive abilities, and the rs −− genotype individual is held to be at risk for maldevelopment of phonological abilities. Not…
Familial sinistrality and degree of left‐handedness
Hécaen & Sauguet (1970) reported that, according to a handedness inventory measure, familial sinistrality among left‐handers (brain‐damaged patients) was associated with weak left‐handedness. We assessed the relationship of familial sinistrality and degree of left‐handedness among 71 normal left‐and 80 right‐handed subjects. No general relationship of degree of left‐handedness, defined by four handedness tasks, to familial sinistrality obtained. …
