Handedness clues in stuttering study by Lee Travis
Lee Travis, a Syracuse University psychologist, reports that 85 percent of persistent stutterers are left-handed by nature though right-handed in practice. An experiment tracks which hand initiates simple movements to reveal natural hand preference within a thousandth of a second. Stutterers tend to lead with the left hand, while nonstutterers who are right-handed tend to lead with the right. Dr S T Orton, head of a mobile clinic for mental diseases, has treated patients in various settings.
