A battery of 5 manual motor tests was designed for use with each hand. A final version was administered to 400 Ss, 20 at each age from 3 to 18 yr., and three older groups of 20 Ss (median ages 22, 29, and 36 yr.). The results were used to derive norms for each task. Reliabilities and correlations between the tasks were obtained. A final set of 5 measures are recommended to sample independent aspects of manual accuracy and speed.
