A test of eye-hand coordination

Abstract

The test consists in placing 32 marbles in holes in a box, 8 marbles in a row. The score is the total time for three trials. Scores of 187 elementary, high school, and college students tested and retested after an interval of a week show a coefficient of reliability of .95. In order to determine validity, scores on the Moore eye-hand coordination test were correlated with scores of 173 elementary and high school subjects on the Minnesota rate of manipulation test ( r = .71). Scores on the Moore test are less variable than the scores on the Minnesota rate of manipulation test. Speed increases with age. Girls were consistently faster than boys, but the difference was not statistically reliable. Range, median, and mean scores are presented for ages 6-16 based upon tests of 602 subjects.
