This study investigated handedness and drawing by preschoolers. An observational method for repeated measurement of hand preference is presented. A sample of 381 children (191 girls, 190 boys) ranging in age from 48 to 71 mo. was tested for drawing and hand preference on 14 tasks. Consistent hand preference was defined as always using a particular hand (left or right) for the same task. Girls with consistent hand preference showed better drawing scores compared to girls with inconsistent hand preference. The results showed the importance of a reliable method for measuring hand preference within a single task as early as preschool age.
本研究调查了学龄前儿童的利手和绘画能力。本文提出了一种观察法,用于重复测量手偏好。研究对象为 381 名年龄在 48 至 71 个月之间的儿童(191 名女孩,190 名男孩),他们在 14 项任务中接受了绘画和手偏好的测试。一致的手偏好定义为始终使用特定的手(左手或右手)来完成相同的任务。与手偏好不一致的女孩相比,手偏好一致的女孩的绘画得分更高。研究结果表明,在学龄前阶段,使用一种可靠的方法来测量单一任务中的手偏好非常重要。
