Abstract
The mean duration for which Chinese infants aged 63 to 135 days (mean age 94 days) maintained grasp of a rattle did not differ consistently between the left hand and the right hand. This result contrasts with the asymmetry in grasp favouring the right hand found by Caplan and Kinsbourne with infants of similar ages using the same procedures.Keywords
