Random motor generation in a finger tapping task: influence of spatial contingency and of cortical and subcortical hemispheric brain lesions

Table 4

Relative frequency of direct repetition and adjacent key presses in %, depending on side and site of lesions, compared with normal controls

Interval NFRBL SCRBL FRBL NFLBL SCLBL FLBL
Adjacent presses 8.8 21.7 12.3 12.6 −19.0 5.3
Direct repetitions 3.7 3.3 8.2 0.8 2.7 0.3
  • The relative values were obtained by subtracting the mean percentage of control group from the mean percentage of the lesion groups’ corresponding hand.

  • NFRBL = non-frontal right brain lesions; SCRBL = subcortical right brain lesions; FRBL = frontal right brain lesions.
