Difficulties in right-left discrimination in a normal population.

In a group of physicians and their spouses, 17.5% of 382 women, and 8.8% of 408 men stated that they experienced frequent confusion in right-left orientation. Right-left confusion occurs often in adults, even of superior intellect, and is statistically commoner in women.
