Abstract
This experiment investigated differences in transfer to novel task dynamics inmovement sequence learning and handedness. Increased loads were used to determine the transfer profiles of movement sequences to practiced and unpracticed limbs. The task required participants to move a horizontal lever to 16 sequentially projected targets. One group practiced the 16-element movement sequence with their dominant limb and another group practiced with their nondominant limb. Approximately 24 hours after completion of the acquisition session, both groups were administered three test blocks with their practiced and unpracticed limbs using the sequence practiced during acquisition. The test blocks involved unchanged (0 kg), and increased (1 kg) load with the practiced and unpracticed hand (order counterbalanced). Results of the experiment indicated that right- and left-handers were effectively able to compensate for increased loads with virtually no changes in performance characteristics with their dominant hand (pattern of element durations). Additionally, right-handers were able to transfer to their nondominant left hand and different loads (transfer symmetry). For left-handers, transfer to different loads was restricted to their dominant hand (transfer symmetry).
