Area of Science:

  • Developmental psychology
  • Neuroscience
  • Human sensory perception

Background:

  • Finger localization performance shows developmental changes.
  • Previous theories suggested interhemispheric transfer efficiency impacts crossed localization development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the basis for developmental changes in finger localization.
  • To test the hypothesis that interhemispheric transfer efficiency underlies developmental changes in crossed localization.

Main Methods:

  • Children aged 6, 8, and 10 years performed three localization tasks: uncrossed, crossed, and model.
  • Localization accuracy was measured for each task.

Main Results:

  • Uncrossed localization was more accurate than crossed or model localization.
  • Developmental differences in localization accuracy were similar across all three tasks.

Conclusions:

  • Developmental changes in finger localization are not solely dependent on interhemispheric transfer efficiency.
  • Findings do not support previous theories linking developmental changes in crossed localization to interhemispheric transfer efficiency.
