Normative data on intermanual differences on three tests of motor performance.

R A Bornstein

    Journal of Clinical and Experimental Neuropsychology
    |January 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study analyzed motor task performance in 365 individuals, finding sex influences intermanual differences but age and education do not. Most importantly, many participants showed atypical performance patterns.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Motor Control
    • Human Performance

    Background:

    • Intermanual differences in motor tasks are commonly assessed.
    • Established guidelines exist for evaluating these differences.
    • Understanding typical performance distributions is crucial for clinical interpretation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the actual frequency and distribution of intermanual differences across various motor tasks.
    • To investigate the influence of age, sex, and education on these differences.
    • To identify atypical patterns of motor performance in a nonclinical sample.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of 365 nonclinical subjects performed several motor tasks.
    • Intermanual difference scores were calculated for each task.
    • Statistical analyses examined relationships between difference scores and demographic variables (age, sex, education).

    Main Results:

    • No consistent relationship was found between age or educational level and intermanual difference scores.
    • Sex demonstrated small but statistically significant effects on intermanual differences.
    • The observed score distribution largely aligned with existing guidelines, yet revealed a notable proportion of subjects with atypical performance patterns.

    Conclusions:

    • While sex influences motor performance differences, age and education appear less critical in nonclinical populations.
    • The prevalence of atypical performance patterns necessitates careful consideration during the interpretation of intermanual differences.
    • Findings contribute to a refined understanding of normal variation and potential deviations in motor control.
