Hemisphericity and the time space performance in a psychomotor task: right hemispheric processing preference and gender- DOI: 10.4025/reveducfis.v20i4.6649

Abstract

The mental process is characterized by a significant right hemispheric preference (HD), bi-hemispheric (BH) or left hemispheric (HE). Researches have shown tendencies associated with different ages and situations in which a preference is more beneficial when aligned to the hemisphere processor. Right preference was found in the study, in associated tasks, hypothesized to be a possible difference between genders. Sample of 30 individuals divided into three groups by hemispheric type. The subjects followed, on task, a stimulus to a target in a higher special temporal complexity. The statistics showed the HD group, male, significantly higher than HE (p<0.05) and also quantitatively superior to BH. Also to the female groups in all conditions (p<0.05). The female HD group was equivalent to the male HE, and statistically superior to the other women in the tasks (p <0.05). Results suggest that content of education must meet the specific processing of the learner and set in relation to gender.
