Dual-task interference in left-handed subjects: hemispheric specialization vs manual dominance.

Thirty-six left-handed subjects performed a dichotic listening task and two concurrent (verbal plus finger-tapping) tasks. Baseline tapping scores revealed both left- and right-hand dominance within left-handed subjects. Moreover when subjects were categorized as consistent or inconsistent for 'sidedness advantage' (e.g. consistent = same side for dominant hand and ear advantage), it was shown that the dual-task interference effects found on the concurrent tapping tasks were due to both hemispheric specialization and manual dominance.

Lateralized interference in finger tapping: initial value differences do not affect the outcome.

Willis and Goodwin, Neuropsychologia 25, 719-724, 1987, have suggested that asymmetric interference observed in dual-task/time-sharing studies may be a statistical artifact of "initial-values" differences and not hemispheric lateralization. In the present study lateralized finger-tapping interference produced by concurrent anagram solution was observed even after the initial right-hand advantage in baseline tapping performance was removed experimentally.
