Abstract

One important aspect of transfer of learning is bilateral transfer an effective way to speed up the process of success. In the bilateral transfer, training on a limb will be lead to learning and effectiveness on the other limbs. In this research bilateral transfer learning in hands was studied. Samples were 43 male students from University of Tabriz. They were divided into three groups, practice groups with the right hand, left hand and control. Of all samples was taken pre test and post test after training.
The results showed with training provided, bilateral transfer of power occurred from the dominant hand to the non-dominant hand and vice versa. Transfer rates are more in the non- dominant hand to the dominant hand.Cause of bilateral transfer can be of fixative muscle in the non-trained limbs and dominate the preventive mechanisms of muscle contraction as a result the exercises in the non-trained limb and also despite the common elements in the brain and relation between the cerebral hemispheres that possibility creates to send nerve signals to the non-training limb. As a result, makes the mild contractions, and strengthen it. More research must be done to prove it.
