title: Laterality of writing hand in East German samples.
abstract: Analyses of distributions of individuals' writing with the left hand and the correlation with handedness in several East German samples (202 children, 299 pupils, 356 students, and 606 adults) indicated the largest correlation for writing hand and handedness was for children. So the writing hand is measurable in children but not in older groups in East Germany.
