Abstract
The effect of verbal and nonverbal interference on finger-tapping performance was analyzed in self-classified left (n = 15) and right-handed (n = 15) subjects. Data were analyzed with a Group (left hander, right hander) × Condition (with interference [verbal, nonverbal], without interference) × Hand (left hand, right hand) mixed factorial ANOVA with repeated measures in Condition and Hand factors. Verbal as well as nonverbal interference conditions, as compared to non-interference conditions, significantly impaired finger-tapping performance of the left relative to right handers.
