This Introductory course is designed to present an overview of hand preference in terms of cultural, social, evolutional, historical, gender, genetic and environmental factors. Normal components of hand preference are examined from the perspectives of sensory-motor development and hemispheric specialization. Informal and formal assessments are illustrated by case studies, which then present examples of how “handedness” problems can be identified and managed.
