Definition of Handedness
Handedness definition - medical term
The preferential use of one hand for most fine manual tasks.
Right handedness is the preferential use of the right hand while left handedness
is the preferential use of the left hand for most fine manual tasks. Being able
to use both hands equally well is known as being ambidextrous. Approximately 90%
of the population is right-handed while about 10% is left-handed. A very small percentage
of the population is ambidextrous.
O ne study claimed that right-handed people live longer than lefties, as reflected
by a decline in the proportion of lefties in the population with age. This study
has since been repeatedly refuted.
