Transfer of training in right-handed and left- handed subjects

Aim The aim of this study was to examine the role of hemispheric (non)dominance on transfer of training in right-handed and left- handed. Sample and method The study was conducted on a sample of 20 female students from University of Mostar, 10 right-handed and 10 left- handed. The participant\'s task was to execute skilled arm movements of different amplitudes with their right and left hand. The tasks were carried out without visual control. Results The results suggest that transfer of training in right-handed and left-handed is going only from right to the left hand. Transfer of training from right to the left hand was pronounced in right than left-handed. Conlusion The result of this study can be attributed to the superiority of the left hemisphere in the control of contralateral and ipsilateral movements in relation to the right hemisphere, which controls only the contralateral movements.
