Why are there (almost) no left-handers in China?
HI Kushner - Endeavour, 2013 - Elsevier
Surveys of Chinese students since the 1980s report that less than 1% are left-handed. This
is an extraordinarily low number given the generally accepted view that between 10 and …

Four meta-analyses across 164 studies on atypical footedness prevalence and its relation to handedness
Human lateral preferences, such as handedness and footedness, have interested
researchers for decades due to their pronounced asymmetries at the population level. 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 …
