“…However, when the concurrent speech-hand task is performed using the left hand, given that the left hand is primarily controlled by the right hemisphere while speech is primarily controlled by the left hemisphere, it has been argued that, the two activities may proceed in parallel with a lesser effect of speech on the performance of the left hand (Kinsbourne & Hicks, 1978). However, a functional bidirectional coupling between speech and finger movement has been observed suggesting that the interaction between concurrently active effectors might better be viewed as coordination rather than interference (Chang & Hammond, 1987;Kelso, Tuller, & Harris, 1983;Whitall, 1996). A further advantage of a dynamics perspective on inter-effector coupling is that it can encompass non-intentional movements such as the vegetative processes underlying the coordination of respiration and locomotion (Amazeen, Amazeen, & Beek, 2001;Goldfield, Schmidt, & Fitzpatrick, 1999), as well as a wide range of phenomena involving the coordination of perception and action (Treffner & Morrison, 2001).…”
