There is great debate as to the way in which preference and performance measures \nof handedness are related. Some suggest that they are separable dimensions (e.g. \nPorac & Coren, 1981), however a bulk of evidence suggests otherwise (Annett, \n1970b; 1976; 1985). The study aimed to discover whether any of three tasks were \nbetter captured by the EHI (Oldfield, 1971). Participants completed all three \nperformance tasks and the EHI. Results suggest that performance measures tapping \nmore practiced abilities may be better captured by preference inventories. \nImplications of the findings and how preference and performance measures might be \nrelated are discussed. How performance measures relate to different types of \nhandedness dichotomies derived from the EHI are also discussed.
