Abstract
The study analyzed the global lateral perception and preference of teenagers (11-15 years old). Within this scope, the study involved 153 teenagers, which were submitted to answer the Global Lateral Preference Inventory (Iplag). The participants were classified as "moderate right-handed" for perceived global lateral preference. In relation to lateral preference, they were classified as "strong right-handed" for the upper limbs, lower limbs, hearing and vision, and "moderate right-handed" for the trunk. Thus, the teenagers were classified as "strong right-handed" for the global lateral preference. The scores of consistency between lateral preference and perceived lateral preference showed that participants had great knowledge about their lateral preference.
