Abstract
Inconsistent- (ICH) versus consistent-right-handedness (CRH) is associated with increased access to right hemisphere processes. Coordinate versus categorical spatial processing may be right versus left hemisphere mediated, respectively. Using 3D virtual environment navigation, ICH outperformed CRH regardless of task type. ICH may have superior spatial processing generally or different strategy use.
