Abstract
Grasp-reflex strengths from right and left hands were measured in 33 h uman neonates. There was no significant correlation between right minu s left grasp-reflex strength and grasp-reflex strength from the right hand. The grasp-reflex strength of the left hand was negatively linear ly correlated with the right minus left grasp-reflex strength. It was suggested that the right brain may be the main determinant for the mot or asymmetry in hands.
