[Interhemispheric functional relationships in the process of "motor command" preparation during choice responses].
Reaction time was recorded in adult healthy people at pauses of 80, 110, 150, 200, 300, 500 and 800 ms between the warning and the triggering stimuli. The warning signal determined the choice of reaction. The stimuli were presented to different halves of the visual field at random. 200 ms pause between the warning and the triggering stimuli is critical for the reaction time. Beginning with this interval, the reaction time was considerably reduced. When information from the triggering stimulus reached "directly" the hemisphere which was "to produce" the motor response, reaction time was considerably shorter, than at non-coincidence of these two factors. The influence of their combination on reaction time is particularly pronounced at 150-500 ms pauses between the warning and the triggering stimuli. The data obtained suggest that the decision making results in a lateralized activation of the hemisphere, which is "to produce" the motor reaction. As a rule, reaction time is not influenced by spatial location of the warning signal. The results of the work should be taken into account when organizing activity of an operator.
