| Abstract |
The present study examined the relationship between left-right discrimination (LRD) performance and handedness, sex and cognitive abilities. In total, 31 men and 35 women - with a balanced ratio of left-and right-handers - completed the Bergen Left-Right Discrimination Test. We found an advantage of left-handers in both identifying left hands and in verifying "left" propositions. A sex effect was also found, as women had an overall higher error rate than men, and increasing difficulty impacted their reaction time more than it did for men. Moreover, sex interacted with handedness and manual preference strength. A negative correlation of LRD reaction time with visuo-spatial and verbal long-term memory was found independently of sex, providing new insights into the relationship between cognitive skills and performance on LRD. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 10. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 07 September 2023.
All research outputs
#3,206,250
of 22,639,270 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Psychology
#5,907
of 29,278 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#69,013
of 328,725 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Psychology
#166
of 565 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,639,270 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 85th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 29,278 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 12.5. This one has done well, scoring higher than 79% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 328,725 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 565 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 70% of its contemporaries.
