Abstract:
Introduction
Preparation capacity in the course of time does not mean low confidence about important events that will occur in the future. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of long preparation and handedness on the neuropsychological performance (ie, reaction time).Methods
The method of this study was semi-experimental which was performed by a self-made software. The participants were 40 of Shahid Chamran University female students who were chosen for sampling and were included in two groups of left and right handedness. Edinburgh Handedness Inventory was administered to them. Repeated measure analysis of variance and Bonferroni post hoc test intergroup for data analysis were used.Findings: The findings demonstrated that very short (0/5 seconds) and very long (3/5 seconds) foreperiods would result in the increase of the reaction time, and that left-handed individuals were associated with shorter reaction times compared to their right-handed counterparts.
Conclusion
Sustainable pattern of right and left hands to control the movement and the deployment strategies are different. Apparently, the cause of these differences is that different motor components specifically processed in two cerebral hemispheres. Moreover, it is better to prepare people for performing different skills from while avoiding too short and too long foreperiodes. Keywords:
