Abstract

It was thought possible that the proximity of the right parietal cortex to the leading hand area in left handed subjects may confer an advantage in tasks requiring visuo-motor function. However, the study showed the left handed group to be defective in the performance of the Wechsler Block-design Sub-test. As some mature left handed individuals may excel in tasks requiring refined visuo-motor skill, it is suggested that any constitutional deficiency is not fixed, but may be expected to disappear with increased maturity, or as the result of training.
