Hand preference for writing and associations with selected demographic and behavioral variables in 255,100 subjects: the BBC internet study.
298
TL;DR: It is concluded that contradictions in the literature as to whether or not these variables are linked to handedness stem largely from different definitions of hand preference, which is not normally available for analysis.

Mental Rotation of Three-Dimensional Objects
TL;DR: The time required to recognize that two perspective drawings portray objects of the same three-dimensional shape is found to be a linearly increasing function of the angular difference in the portrayed orientations of the two objects.

Magnitude of sex differences in spatial abilities: a meta-analysis and consideration of critical variables.
TL;DR: Results showed that sex differences are significant in several tests but that some intertest differences exist, and partial support was found for the notion that the magnitude of sex differences has decreased in recent years.

Mental rotations, a group test of three-dimensional spatial visualization.
Steven G. Vandenberg,A. R. Kuse +1 more
TL;DR: A paper-and-pencil test of spatial visualization was constructed from the figures used in the chronometric study of Shepard and Metzler (1971) as discussed by the authors, which showed substantial internal consistency (Kuder-Richardson 20 =.88), a test-retest reliability (83), and consistent sex differences over the entire range of ages investigated.

Cerebral lateralization. Biological mechanisms, associations, and pathology: II. A hypothesis and a program for research.
TL;DR: The hypothesis is that slowed growth within certain zones of the left hemisphere is likely to result in enlargement of other cortical regions, in particular, the homologous contralateral area, but also adjacent unfaffected regions.

Left-handedness: association with immune disease, migraine, and developmental learning disorder.
Norman Geschwind,Peter O. Behan +1 more
TL;DR: An experimental study designed to test the following hypothesis derived from clinical observations: There is an elevated frequency in left-handed individuals and in their families of immune disease, migraine, and developmental learning disorders and finds markedly higher frequencies in the left- handers than in the right-handers.
