Arm folding, hand clasping and Luria’s concept of “latent left-handedness”
Mohr & Brugger 2006
• Investigated whether left-top positions in arm folding & hand folding indicated “latent left-handedness”
• 509 participants• What does this
data show? • Do our findings
agree?
What do you notice/ wonder?
Agree or Disagree?
• “Consistent left-top preference for both arm folding & hand crossing appears to predict right-handedness.”
• “Those participants who performed the respective hand actions with the right hand were more likely to have a congruent posture (LL or RR) combination, while those who did not prefer the right hand to perform the respective hand action were more likely to have a non-congruent posture combination.”
• “A left-top preference in arm-folding points to “latent” left-handedness, but only if associated with a right-top preference in hand-clasping”
