The nature of the difference in skill between the preferred and non-preferred hands was investigated in humans using a peg-board task. The 1st experiment examined the effects of varying movement amplitude and target tolerance on performance. The difference between hands was related to tolerance rather than movement amplitude. The 2nd study analyzed a film record of well-practiced subjects, confirming the hypothesis that most of the difference between hands is due to relative slowness of the non-preferred hand in the positioning phase involving small corrective movements. Analysis of the type and number of errors suggested that this is not due to differences in duration of movements but to their increased frequency, implying greater accuracy of aiming with the preferred hand. While the initial gross analysis implicated feedback processing in skill differences the more detailed analysis suggests that motor output of the non-preferred hand is simply more variable.
