摘要: In an auditory or musical task, subjects made pitch recognition judgments when the tones to be compared were separated by a sequence of interpolated tones. The left-handed performed significantly better than right-handed and also had higher variance. Further analysis showed that superior performance was attributable largely with mixed hand preference.
