| Maternal influences on infant hand-use during play with toys. |
1992 |
3286 |
Infant hand-use preferences are related to mother's, but not father's, handedness. Since infants match mother's hand-use during toy play, maternal handedness can affect infant hand-use. Twenty-eight mother— infant pairs (14 left-handed and 14 right-h... |
