A brief survey, using a standardized questionnaire, has been made of hand preference patterns in a series of patients admitted to hospital with functional psychiatric disorders. A small but significant shift towards left hand preference has been observed, more marked in the young patients and virtually confined to the males. Psychotic patients show such a shift more clearly than neurotic or personality disordered patients. Simple genetic factors do not appear to be responsible for these sinistral tendencies. The findings are discussed in relation to possible acquired abnormalities of functional brain organization.
我们使用标准化问卷，对一系列因功能性精神障碍入院的患者的用手偏好模式进行了简要调查。我们观察到，患者出现了向左手偏好的微小但显著的转变，这种转变在年轻患者中更为明显，且几乎仅限于男性。与神经症或人格障碍患者相比，精神病患者的这种转变更为明显。这些左利倾向似乎并非由简单的遗传因素导致。我们结合功能性脑组织可能出现的后天异常对这些研究结果进行了讨论。
