Resumo
Using studies of the right and left hemisphere’s specialization for positional and vector coding, we analyzed the errors made by right- and left-handers while reproducing sequences of right and left hand movements in a task that activates vector coding by changing the order of movements in memorized sequences. The task was performed first with one hand (starting) and then with the other (continuing). Both right- and lefthanders were found to use information about previous movements of the starting hand only when the dominant hand was starting. After changing the hand, right-handers used information about previous movements of the continuing hand, while left-handers did not. The results were compared with data from earlier experiments wherein positional coding was activated. The comparison showed that vector coding was predominantly involved in memorizing sequences of movements made by the dominant hand, while positional coding was used in the case of the opposite hand in both right- and left-handers. Patterns of errors after changing the hand differed between right- and left-handers, and the conclusion was made that skills are transferred in different ways in right- and left-handers, depending on the type of coding.
