    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Neuroscience
    • Motor Control
    • Speech Processing

    Background:

    • Dual-task performance is complex, involving simultaneous execution of motor and cognitive tasks.
    • Previous research suggests potential interference between speech and motor functions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the impact of a secondary speech task on unimanual force production.
    • To examine sex differences in dual-task interference patterns.

    Main Methods:

    • 24 right-handed adults (12 male, 12 female) performed a unimanual force-production task.
    • Participants also performed the motor task while simultaneously sound-shadowing high-frequency words.

    Main Results:

    • The speech task significantly disrupted right-hand performance in men.
    • The speech task significantly disrupted left-hand performance in women.

    Conclusions:

    • Findings support intrahemisphere-interference models of dual-task performance.
    • Sex-specific patterns of interference between speech and motor tasks were observed.
