A Manual for Administering a Standardized Dexterity Test Battery

Abstract

This manual is the final product of an investigation which resulted in the development of a standardized battery of seven manual dexterity tests to be used in assessing the effects of chemical defense treatment drugs on performance. A companion report details how the tests were selected; this manual describes how to administer them. The battery includes the following tests: Purdue Pegboard Assembly, Aiming, Photoelectric Rotary Pursuit-Circle, Reaction Time, None-Hole Steadiness (two tests) and Tapping.
