Dichhaptic laterality and field dependence.
Relationships among laterality, field dependence, and sex were investigated using right handed subjects. Dichhaptic measures of laterality showed a significant left-hand advantage for the discrimination of irregular shapes. No significant relationships were found between laterality and sex or sex role perceptions nor between laterality and field dependence. A modality of response effect on the laterality task was interpreted in terms of the functional cerebral space principle.
