摘要: Abstract The relationship between preferred handedness and spatial visualization was examined for 124 female 229 male undergraduate students. Handedness ability were used in the design as continuous variables. Other variables sex of subject family history sinistrality. Spatial found to be systematically related measured handedness, familial left-handedness, subject. Males outperformed females at all levels handedness. lowest performance obtained by subjects who either extremely left-handed or right-handed. highest scores individuals with relatives whose range considered mixed slightly results suggest that decreased hemispheric specialization is associated increased ability.
