Tactual stimuli were composed of eight smoothly joined cubes whose junctions were not haptically discernible. The computer recorded number and duration of hand contacts on each cube. Analyses included the accuracy of the recognition phase, the number and duration of exhaustive explorations of the stimulus, and the number of cubes simultaneously touched. Neither hand nor sex differences were found for the accuracy measurement. The number and duration of exhaustive explorations also provide no evidence of hand differences, However, the left hand touched simultaneously more cubes than the right and this asymmetry was more pronounced in males than in females. Such an asymmetry was apparent in the very first contact of the hand with the shape. It is suggested that exploratory strategies may be more sensitive measures in revealing hand lateralization than the accuracy measurement. @ 1993 Academic Press, Inc.
