2.3. Procedure
For this study, variations of the conventional placing test of the
Minnesota Dexterity Test were incorporated in order to introduce
three levels of difficulty. The three tasks were:
2.3.1. Task 1A (simple placing test)
Participants used their dominant hand to move pegs from one
board to the other. They picked up the bottom disk from the first
board and placed it in the top hole of the second board. The next
disk was then placed below the hole previously filled and so on.
This is the standard procedure used with the test. This tested
discrete gross motor abilities.
