| Abstract: | According to the dynamic dominance model, the left cerebral hemisphere is specialized for the control of intersegmental dynamics and the right hemisphere for impedance control. Our aim was to test predictions from the dynamic dominance model in children by comparing performance between the right (preferred) and left hands in aiming. Three groups were compared: 4–7, 8–11, and 18–38 years old. Results showed higher movement linearity in the performance with the right hand in all age groups (P <.01), while initial directional error and endpoint accuracy were equivalent between hands. These results provided partial support for the dynamic dominance model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
