Researchers Studying the Link Between Automatic Movement and Performance Asked

Researchers studying the link between automatic movement and performance asked soccer players to squeeze a ball with either their left hand or their right hand right before they took penalty kicks in a high-pressure situation. What was the finding of the experiment?

A) Squeezing the ball with the left hand improved performance because the right hemisphere of the brain controls automatic movements
B) Squeezing the ball with the left hand improved performance because the left hemisphere of the brain controls automatic movements
C) Squeezing the ball with the right hand improved performance because the right hemisphere of the brain controls automatic movements
D) Squeezing the ball with the right hand improved performance because the left hemisphere of the brain controls automatic movements
