TY - JOUR PY - 1978// TI - Visuo-motor skill and visual perception in left and right handed children of superior intelligence JO - Clinical and experimental neurology A1 - Mellick, R. A1 - Klajic, I.

SP - 186 EP - 189 VL - 15 IS - N2 - 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.
