Brain asymmetry for speech is moderately related to handedness but what are the rules? Are symmetries for hand and brain associated with characteristics such as intelligence, motor skill, spatial reasoning or skill at sports?

The Psychology of Left and Right
Addressing the problem of how we tell left from right, the authors discuss that the ability to tell left from right depends on bodily asymmetry, and implications for child development, reading disability, navigation, art, and culture.
