A vague term that has a number of interpretations. In general, it refers to the tendency to use one hand more often and more proficiently on a wide range of tasks requiring speed, precision, force, and skill, especially on tasks requiring controlled, or modulated, force and the coordination of complex sequences of movements of the digits.
