Abstract

Thirty right-handed university students (15 male and 15 female) engaged in a unimanual task involving sequential finger movement alone and in four conditions with concurrent cognitive activity. Overall the two “spatial” tasks interfered with activity of the left hand more than the right and the two “verbal” tasks interfered more with right than left hand activity. These findings were interpreted as support for a hemispheric timesharing model which proposes that two concurrently performed tasks interfere with each other to the extent that they compete for the same cerebral space.
