Can I twist your arm? The influence of target orientation on the magnitude of the right-hand advantage
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Controversy exists concerning whether handedness is a unidimensional trait or a multidimensional trait. However, researchers espousing the view that handedness is multidimensional are in disagreement regarding what the dimensions are that underlie handedness. Healey, Liederman, and Geschwind (1986) have provided some evidence that the type of musculature utilised (i.e., proximal versus distal) may be an underlying factor in determining handedness. The present research attempted to test this notion by examining the effects of target orientation on the relative performance of the two hands, using a peg-moving task. Target orientation was examined by utilising key-shaped pegs that fit securely into key-shaped holes. The results showed that the presence of target orientation increased the preferred-hand advantage. It is considered that this increased advantage for the right hand may be due to the hemispheric control of proximal versus distal musculature suggested by Geschwind and Galaburda (1985).

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
