Abstract
|
The author believes the application of statistical methods to the study of unilateral dominance bids fair to clear up many obscurities. It should not, however, wholly supersede the clinical procedure. From a number of individual case studies, there were studied: (1) experiences of subjects who have been shifted from the preferred hand, from left to right or right to left--one case of such change shows relapse to the preferred activity in learning novel activities and creative drawing; (2) observations on a change in the use of the hands motivated by a curious experience in visualization, and an inhibition of visualization due to conflict; (3) orientation illusions, arising from definitely right or left motor sets; (4) experiences which suggest that in some cases handedness shifts with changes in organic tension.
