abstract="Verbal-manual interference was investigated with 80 students who were divided into four groups by sex and hand preference. Unilateral finger-tapping was measured during no-load conditions and during two concurrent tasks of word reading (aloud) and sentence reading (silent). During concurrent tasks, no selective interference effects for the preferred hand were found; however, when participants were classified according to consistent handedness instead of hand preference, consistent right-handers exhibited selective right-hand tapping interference during concurrent word reading, whereas consistent left-handers showed generalized interference. During concurrent sentence reading, men showed selective right-hand interference, irrespective of handedness. The influence of tapping on word reading was also examined. Concurrent tapping lowered word-reading performance substantially, showing that finger-tapping and word reading interfered reciprocally.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
