Abstract

Spatial ability of 60 left-handed and 60 right-handed school children was investigated using a battery of nine tasks. The results do not agree with Levy's (1969, 1976) theory predicting spatial inferiority of left-handed individuals. Instead, higher performance by left-handed children provided further support for Annett's (Annett & Manning, 1989) theory on intelligence and for Geschwind's (Geschwind & Galaburda, 1985) hypothesis of "pathology of superiority." The distinction of left-handed and right-handed individuals into familial and nonfamilial groups appeared to be psychologically equivocal according to our results.

摘要

通过一组九个任务对60名左利手和60名右利手学童的空间能力进行了调查。研究结果与利维（1969年、1976年）预测左利手个体空间能力较差的理论不一致。相反，左利手儿童的较高表现进一步支持了安妮特（安妮特和曼宁，1989年）关于智力的理论以及杰施温德（杰施温德和加拉布尔达，1985年）的“优势病理学”假说。根据我们的研究结果，将左利手和右利手个体区分为家族性和非家族性群体在心理学上似乎并不明确。
