The Cognitive Failure of Forgetfulness Is Related to Strength, but Not Direction, of Handedness

Cognitive failures may reflect underlying neuronal organization, and individual differences in hand preference are associated with differences in cortical organization. The cognitive failure Forgetfulness increased with increasing consistent-handedness, and inconsistent-handers reported less forgetfulness than consistent-right-handers, likely reflecting underlying differences between handedness groups in neural substrates of memory.
