Abstract

Thirty-six crossed eye-hand dominant and an equal number of lateral dominant fifth grade students were compared on mirrortracing and handwriting tasks. Results showed that being crossed dominant did not have a significant effect on either handwriting or mirror-tracing when the preferred hand was used. The commonly held theory that being crossed eye-hand dominant is a handicap to normal language development was not supported by this study.
