The Psychology of Left and Right (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Originally published in 1976, this title deals with the problem of how we tell left from right. The authors argue that the ability to tell left from right depends ultimately on a bodily asymmetry, such as preference for one or the other hand, or dominance of one side of the brain.
