Left handedness and handedness switch amongst the Chinese.
The incidence of left handedness amongst the Chinese, as in the case of people with more traditional cultures, is reported to be low. However, there is a group of native left handers, often unrecognized as such, who use the right hand for writing and drawing but the left hand for most other tasks. They had experienced pressure during childhood to shift their preferred hand from left to right. This paper compares the handedness profile, eyedness, footedness, and finger tapping performance of right handed, left handed, and handedness switch Chinese subjects.
