Description - Handedness and Brain Asymmetry by Marian Annett
Brain asymmetry for speech is moderately related to handedness, but what are the rules? Are symmetries for hand and brain associated with characteristics such as intelligence, motor skill, spatial reasoning or skill at sports? In tackling these issues, Marian Annett developed her influential Right Shift Theory, suggesting that handedness depends on chance but is influenced by an evolved agent of right hemisphere disadvantage. Handedness and Brain Asymmetry is an updated version of her earlier book and reviews a working lifetime of research. It shows how a fundamental analysis of the nature of handedness led to a theory of brain asymmetry which influences the way we look at human behaviour at many levels, from genetics to cerebral specialisation and human abilities. It has possible implications for disabilities, including dyslexia, schizophrenia and autism.
