摘要
In this study, to test an inference from the 1991 Previc hypothesis that right-handers have a right-ear advantage, the durations of hearing for the right and left ears were compared for 81 right- and 45 left-handed high school students. In the present study, right-handedness was associated with a right-ear advantage and left-handedness was associated with a left-ear advantage. In addition, there was a significant positive correlation between the durations of hearing for the right and left ears and the scores for right-handedness for right-handed subjects. The durations of hearing for the right and left ears were negatively correlated with the left-handedness for left-handed subjects. These results suggest hand preference may be related to asymmetry of aural sensitivity.
