Hi,
Agree with you on the scientific side of things... but...
Speaking of assumptions and instructions... there is something you
can do.
You are assuming the person draws the 6 as we normally do.... starting
at the top and drawing the shape in a counterclockwidse manner.
Try this... start where you would normally end the 6 and draw it in a
counterclockwise manner... You'll end up with the 6 drawn and without your
foot changing directions...

[tips] RE: Can someone on the list send me an explanation please?
Hi Annette,
I did find what I found several years ago about being unable to perform
these simple tasks...
The interference is a result of the proximity of the two areas of the
motor cortex for the same (right or left) hand and foot. When using one
from the left and the other from the right this interference does not
occur because the two involved areas are relatively far apart - actually
in the opposite hemisphere.

central sulcus and the hands and fingers more temporal/parietal so I
thought maybe they would have less interference.
