Abstract
The temporal and serial organization (or timing) of responses in motor skill was investigated in a repetitive motor task, resisted hand cranking. Both positional timing and serial timing were analyzed using strain-gauge techniques and were related to the performance of the preferred and non-preferred hands. The results demonstrated the superiority of the preferred hand on the serial timing criteria and supported the hypothesis that skilled performance is characterized by more effective temporal structuring of the components of the response.Keywords
