*CH, consistent handers; IH, inconsistent handers; CL, consistent left-handers; CR, consistent right-handers; IL, inconsistent left-handers; IR, inconsistent right-handers.

**Six individuals who had an EHI score of 0 could not be assigned a direction (left or right) and were removed from the four category analyses.
