An Analysis of Output from Tapping Devices Used in Dual Task Research

Abstract
An increasingly popular method used for neuropsychological research is the finger-tapping concurrent-activities paradigm. Since conclusions about behavioral asymmetries are frequently based on minimal differences between baseline and concurrent-activity tapping-output, an investigation was made to determine whether different types of finger-tapping devices and methods of evaluation produced discrepancies in tap count. Implications of outcomes and suggestions to improve precision of measurement are discussed.
