Lastly, YA demonstrated asymmetrical adaptation, with improved performance in the dominant right hand under left-sided constraints, while OA showed reduced adaptation capabilities.DiscussionThese findings indicate that aging is associated with a reduction in lateralized attention and diminished adaptability to asymmetric task demands during bimanual visuomotor coordination.…”
