{n} the quality of having distinct sides
the property of using one hand more than the other
The state or condition of being lateral
A visual skill that we develop to understand directional concepts to organize our visual space Laterality is an internal/self awareness of two body sides and knowing they are different It requires good balance, vestibular function and an awareness of a body midline (an invisible line that divides your body in half) Good development of laterality helps us develop good directionality SEE: DIRECTIONALITY
The tendency to use the hand, foot, eye, and ear on a particular side of the body
Are you left handed or right handed, right or left eyed, left or right footed? This is known as laterality Preference is usually consistently left or right sided Sometimes a child may be left handed but right eyed or visa versa, which can cause confusion This is described as cross laterality
localization of function on either the right or left sides of the brain
A rotational abnormal movement of C1 about the condyles of occiput and about the sagittal axis of motion Rotation is angular motion about an axis of motion
superior development of one side of the body
{i} preference for using one hand or the other; condition in which one side of the body is more developed than the other
or hemispheric asymmetry Characteristic of the human brain in which certain functions (such as language comprehension) are localized on one side in preference to the other. One example is handedness (the tendency to use one hand or the other to perform activities): Since the left and right cerebral hemispheres control the right and left sides of the body, respectively, right-handed people are typically left-dominant in terms of hemispheric control of various motor functions and also with respect to seeing (right-eyed) and language comprehension. Paul Broca first identified the brain centre for articulate speech in what is now called Broca's area. Later researchers discovered that functions involving logical or sequential analysis generally reside in the left hemisphere, while the right hemisphere seems to control processing of spatio-visual information and musical relations. More left-handers than right-handers display a reversal of hemispheric specialization or a more even distribution of functions between the two hemispheres. There is no general agreement about whether laterality is genetically transmitted, developed during gestation, or learned
