Manual asymmetry and handedness.
Volumetric measurements show that right-handed individuals have larger right hands than left hands. In contrast, the hands of left-handers are much more nearly symmetrical. Based on what is known about trophic interactions between neurons and targets, these findings predict a corresponding asymmetry of the relevant parts of the sensorimotor system in right-handers. The lack of an opposite-hand ...
متن کاملHandedness and manual specialization in the baboon.
Manual preferences of six baboons were tested with three kinds of experimental tasks: (1) a simple reaching on a board or in a hole; (2) a box opening; (3) two visuo-spatial tasks requiring precise alignments of apertures. The distribution of right and left hand preferences was found to be symmetrical for the simple reachings (3 right- and 3 left-handers) and was consistent with the preferences...
متن کاملConsidering handedness in studies involving manual control.
With studies of motor behavior that feature manual control, it is suggested that the methodology used to select subjects in reference to handedness be reviewed. This suggestion is in view of the recommendation that simply asking subjects to identify their writing hand is inadequate to define handedness. Complementing this are recent findings in neuroscience indicating differences, at times sign...
متن کاملPlasticity of human handedness: decreased one-hand bias and inter-manual performance asymmetry in expert basketball players.
Athletes frequently have to adapt their skills to fast changes of play, often requiring the flexible execution of a particular movement skill with either hand. To assess the influence of sport-specific expertise and extensive sport training on human laterality, a video analysis of regular basketball games was performed for professional, semi-professional, and amateur players to investigate how ...
متن کاملAdaptation Asymmetry in Manual Tracking
A theory of manual adaptive control requires an understanding of the mechanisms by which human op erators alter their control strategies in response to changes in control conditions Here we show that signi cant asym metries in adaptation occur in a manual tracking task when well trained subjects are exposed to situations in which track preview lag of the controlled system or track bandwidth gra...
