Standardization of the Whipple-Healy Tapping Test

Abstract

The present study is a standardization of a test for measuring speed and accuracy of eye-hand co-ordinations. It was made in the spring of 1921 by five students in the course in Statistics at Mount Holyoke College. The central tendency was estimated for each age group in a total of 2,253 children, ranging in age from seven to seventeen years, in order that the performances in any given case might be rated and used as one of a group of results on which to base vocational advice.
