  • Title: Lateralization of bilateral transfer of visuomotor information in right-handers and left-handers.
    Author: Inui N.
    Journal: J Mot Behav; 2005 Jul; 37(4):275-83. PubMed ID: 15967753.
    Abstract:
    The author examined the lateralization of transfer of visuomotor information between the right and left hands during unimanual finger-tapping sequences with visual feedback. The finger-tapping task consisted of a target peak force of 2 N and a target intertap interval of 500 ms. Twenty right-handed and 10 left-handed participants performed the motor task, with 3 transfer trials following 3 practice trials. The author observed positive transfers from the left to the right hand for right-handers but the opposite direction of positive transfers for left-handers. However, left-handers showed a less variable peak force than right-handers did. The author discusses left-handers' interhemispheric information processing.
