Abstract

Abstract Twelve right-handed and 12 left-handed boys and girls were given grip strength tests for the preferred and nonpreferred hands in the right-, left-, and symmetro-tonic neck postures. Expectations were that right-handers would differ from left-handers in response to the tonic neck reflex in relation to preferred and nonpreferred grip strength. Results supported the conclusion that the left tonic neck reflex in the right-handers tested had more facilitative and inhibitory powers than the right tonic neck reflex and accounted for the difference between right-handers and left-handers in the manifestation of dominant strength of the preferred hand.
