Developmental disorders of reading and spelling have long been associated with increased left- and mixed-handedness but the evidence has been controversial. The right shift (RS) theory of handedness and cerebral dominance, developed by Annett from 1972 onward, offers resolutions to several puzzles about laterality in the so-called dyslexias. This review of findings in the light of the theory shows that "phonological" dyslexics are less likely to be right-handed, while "surface" or "dyseidetic" dyslexics are more likely to be right-handed than the general population.
阅读和拼写发育障碍长期以来与左撇子和混合利手有关，但证据一直存在争议。安尼特（Annett）从 1972 年开始提出的利手和大脑优势的右移（RS）理论，为所谓的阅读障碍中的偏侧性的几个难题提供了解决方案。根据该理论对研究结果进行的回顾表明，“语音”型阅读障碍者不太可能是右利手，而“表面”或“dyseidetic”型阅读障碍者比一般人群更有可能是右利手。
