Effect of practice on laterality in a mental rotation task . The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of practice on the lateralization of mental rotation skills . Forty-six females and 46 males completed four blocks of 64 trials in a lateralized mental rotation task . Results revealed a reduction in reaction time and error rate across blocks , thus demonstrating a practice effect . A shift from a right hemisphere advantage to a left hemisphere advantage across blocks of trials was also found . The results are discussed in terms of their implication for hypotheses linking laterality and training . Practical implications for laterality research are also discussed .
