2. Do exercise 9 on pages 65-66 in your text.
3. Here's an observation:

   If a person is assigned the task of repeating everything someone else is saying (talking over the other person's voice, i.e. shadowing) while simultaneously tapping a finger, the shadower has a harder time tapping a finger on the right hand than tapping a finger on the left hand.

   • What might explain this observation?
   • Test this observation out on at least two classmates/friends/relatives. Write up your results. Did your results clearly match the expect results? If not, what did you observe? (To respect the privacy of your volunteers, do no refer to them by name.)
