Orientation of Controls in Bilateral Transfer of Training

摘要

This study was conducted to determine the relative effectiveness of a mirror arrangement of controls versus a place arrangement of controls in a task involving bilateral transfer of training. Comparisons between the two arrangements were made on the basis of response latency, errors, subject-expectancy, and subject-preference.nResults indicate performance is more efficient with the mirror arrange¬ment, that subjects expect a mirror arrangement over a place arrangement by approximately a two to one ratio. It was further found that sex differences do not significantly influence these results.
