Sex, handedness and asymmetry of hand and foot length

Means, Larry W., Walters, Rosalind E.·1982·Neuropsychologia

Abstract

Measurements of the length of the hands of 156 4-9 yr old children revealed a significant association among sex, handedness and direction of asymmetry of hand-length. Right-handed males have longer right than left hands while non-right-handed males have longer left than right hands (P less than 0.005). Females have a significant association also (P less than 0.005), with the direction of asymmetry the reverse of that found in males. No significant associations were found among the classification variables for foot-length measured at ages 4-9 or at birth.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
