Abstract:
Right-handed chronic schizophrenics, left-handed normals, and right-handed normals were tested on a measure of bilateral transfer of motor skill in contralateral hands. Schizophrenics compared with normals showed significantly poor bilateral transfer of skill in terms of errors committed; the group difference was nonsignificant in terms of response time. Results suggested a breakdown in perceptual-motor coordination in schizophrenia.
