Two experiments are presented which demonstrate asymmetrical transfer for tactual recognition of individual braille letters in sighted subjects, a task ussually associated with right hemisphere specialization. Right-handers were studied in Experiment 1, left- and right-handers in Experiment 2. Poor transfer of training from the right hand to the left hand was observed for right-handed subjects in both experiments. The same was true for one group of left-handers (who wrote with the "inverted" position). For another group (who wrote with the "non-inverted" position), no disadvantage was associated with opposite-hand training for either hand. The role of hemispheric specializaton of function in determining the direction of greater transfer is discussed , and it is argued that handwriting posture may be an index of the degree of functional "connectedness" of the two hemispheres in left-handers. @ 1990 Academic Press, Inc.
