    Bilateral Transfer

    Uploaded by

    Akhil Vr
    This document describes an experiment to measure bilateral transfer - the facilitation of performance from one body part to its counterpart - before and after practice. The experiment uses a mirror drawing board to test tracing speed and errors with the left hand both before and after 10 practice trials with the right hand. Results are recorded in a table showing time taken and errors for the left hand tests as well as each of the 10 practice trials. The data is then analyzed to determine whether bilateral transfer occurred as a result of the practice sessions.

    BILATERAL TRANSFER

    PROBLEM

    To determine the phenomenon of bilateral transfer before and after design.

    INTRODUCTION

    The effect of fast learning or new learning is designated as transfer of learning. It can also use
    to our attention and concentration problems. According to Hilgard the influence that learning of
    performance of performance of another task is called transfer of learning is one of the most
    pervasive characteristic of behavior. This guaranties the continuity and lawful development of
    habits of ever growing complexities. The effect of past learning or new learning may be
    classified in one of the three categories, positive transfer occur when past experience facilitate
    the acquisition of a new skill or solution of a new problem. Negative transfer occurs when past
    experience render more difficult or shows down the acquisition of a new skill or the solution of a
    new problem.

    Crosse education refers to the facilitation of performance with one part of the body. When
    Crosse education is from one body organ to its symmetrical counterpart it is called as bilateral
    transfer. It is usually demonstrated by mirror drawing board. Stach (1910) was first to apply
    mirror drawing method on the study of bilateral transfer. Studies conclude that bilateral transfer
    is a form of positive transfer where the subjects do better after training.

    MATERIALS

     Mirror drawing board


     Stylus
     Stop Watch
    PROCEDURE
    The mirror drawing apparatus is connected with a stylus in such a way that whenever the
    stylus touches on either side of the groups of the star pattern, the circuit is completed and hence
    an error is detected. Subject is placed in front of the apparatus and the screen of the apparatus is
    arranged in such a way that the star pattern can see only through the mirror and that the screen
    does not block the movement of the hand. Conduct the experiment on two series.

    A) Left hand before training (Non Preferred hand)

    Instruct the subject as follows when a star you look at the left reflection in the mirror and try star
    pattern by moving the stylus along the grooves from end points and reach the original point in
    anticlockwise direction . Trace as quickly as possible without touching. The error will be
    recorded whenever you touch the side of the grooves with the stylus. Performance will be timed
    with the above instruction, asks the subject to trace the pattern with the left hand. Note down the
    time taken and errors committed

    Then give the subjects to 10 trials to trace the star pattern with the preferred hand in clockwise
    direction. Note down the time taken and errors committed in each trial.

    B) Left hand after training (Non Preferred hand)

    Following the same procedure ask subject to trace the star pattern with the left hand once
    again in the clockwise direction then note the time taken and errors committed.

    PRECUATION

     Do not allow the subject to see the star pattern directly while tracing.
     Instruct the subject to work as rapidly as possible.
