From: Handedness did not affect motor skill acquisition by the dominant hand or interlimb transfer to the non-dominant hand regardless of task complexity level

Figure 5

Changes in participants’ reaction time. Panel (A) Participants’ RT improved the most at the most complex finger tapping sequence task for both motor skill acquisition (black circles) and interlimb transfer (grey diamonds), regardless of handedness. Symbols and vertical bars denote mean values ± 1SD. Panel (B) No differences were found in the level of motor skill acquisition (black boxes) and interlimb transfer (grey boxes) at any complexity levels. Dotted lines between boxes represent the percent changes of motor skill acquisition and interlimb transfer of the same participant. Larger values than zero correspond to better post-intervention reaction times as compared to baseline values. The boxplots show the median, the upper, and lower quartiles, and the min and max value of the groups. “ × ” within the boxplot represents the mean line. * p < 0.05.
