  • Title: Interhemispheric transfer time in sportsmen.
    Author: Semprini G, Coggi D, Corballis MC.
    Journal: J Mot Behav; 2012; 44(5):373-7. PubMed ID: 23035875.
    Abstract:
    The authors' aim was to compare interhemispheric transfer time between 2 groups: highly skilled sportsmen and control subjects. Left- and right-handed individuals were included in the study. The Poffenberger paradigm was used to measure the crossed-uncrossed difference, representing the time to transfer information from one hemisphere to the other. No difference in laterality was found, but the results revealed a greater crossed-uncrossed difference in the skilled sportsmen than in the controls. The authors suggest that this may be due to more highly developed within-hemisphere integration of inputs and outputs, at the expense of cross-hemisphere integration.
