One hand or the other? Effector selection biases in right and left handers.
Much debate in the handedness literature has centred on the relative merits of questionnaire-based measures assessing hand preference versus simple movement tasks such as peg moving or finger tapping, assessing hand performance. A third paradigm has grown in popularity, which assesses choices by participants when either hand could be used to execute movements. These newer measures may be useful...
متن کاملSwitching handedness: fMRI study of hand motor control in right-handers, left-handers and converted left-handers.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences in the brain organization of motor control in left- and right-handers and to study whether early left-to-right handwriting switch changes the cortical representation of finger movements in the left and right hemispheres. Echo-planar MR imaging was performed in 52 subjects: consistent right-handers (RH), consistent left-handers (LH), a...
متن کاملCorrelation between hand preference and intraocular pressure from right- and left-eyes in right- and left-handers
To test whether there is a relationship between handedness and the intraocular pressure and there is a lateralization in the intraocular pressure, the intraocular pressures of the right- and left-eyes were compared in right- and left-handed students. The intraocular pressures were higher in the right-eye than in the left-eye in men, right-handers, and right-eyed subjects; there was no right-lef...
متن کاملMotor resonance in left- and right-handers: evidence for effector-independent motor representations
The idea of motor resonance was born at the time that it was demonstrated that cortical and spinal pathways of the motor system are specifically activated during both action-observation and execution. What is not known is if the human action observation-execution matching system simulates actions through motor representations specifically attuned to the laterality of the observed effectors (i.e...
متن کاملProcessing biases towards the preferred hand: valid and invalid cueing of left- versus right-hand movements.
A Posner-like paradigm was employed to investigate the effects of valid and invalid cueing of each hand on reaction time, movement time and peak velocity in an aiming task. Given claims of left hemisphere superiority in movement selection and inhibition (and the privileged within-hemisphere access of the right hand to such systems), it was hypothesised that invalidly cueing the left hand (i.e. ...
