Abstract

This study is a continuation of the Peterson handedness studies. Basically, these studies seek a means to investigate the nature of the neural equivalent of practice. Many investigators are interested in this problem, among them the conditioned reflexologists. They, however, have failed to identify any neural equivalent because they have failed to localize a conditioned reflex...

It should be emphasized that the primary concern of this and previous handedness studies is not with handedness per se. Handedness is a highly useful and sensitive means of determining the functionality of a small part of the nervous system. The objective of this study is to increase the utility of this tool by further refinement of the localization of the handedness area within the cerebral cortex.
