Abstract
Unselected children from preschools ( n = 224) and from primary schools ( n = 222), representing an age range 4 to 8 yr., were tested for lateral consistency, eye preference and cross-hand-eye preference. The primary school children were also tested for reading achievement, reversal tendency in writing, and vocabulary. Lateral consistency was unrelated to age, as also were hand and eye preference, and cross-hand-eye preference. None of these variables was related to reading achievement, reversal tendency, or vocabulary.Keywords
