Abstract:
This study was conducted to determine the relative effectiveness of a mirror arrangement of controls versus a place arrangement of controls in a task involing bilateral transfer of training. Comparisons between the two arrangements were made on the basis of response latency, errors, subject-expectancy, and subject-preference. Results indicate performance is more efficient with the mirror arrangement, that subjects expect a mirror arrangement over a place arrangement by approximately a two to one ratio. It was further found that sex differences do not significantly influence these results.
