Lafayette Grooved Pegboard

The Grooved Pegboard Test is a specialized manipulative dexterity test that challenges fine motor skills and visual-motor coordination. It consists of 25 holes, each with randomly positioned slots. The pegs used in the test have a key along one side, requiring individuals to rotate the pegs to match the slots before inserting them. This adds an extra layer of complexity compared to traditional pegboard tests.

By measuring performance speed on this fine motor task, the test provides insights into motor coordination and can be used to infer possible lateral brain damage through the examination of both sides of the body. Widely employed in neuropsychological evaluations, student labs, and industrial settings, the Grooved Pegboard Test offers a reliable method for assessing hand-eye coordination and dexterity.

The set includes pegs, an examiner’s manual, and established norms for comparison, making it an indispensable tool in a variety of testing environments.

Features:

• Complex Visual-Motor Coordination: Requires the rotation of pegs to match slots, offering a more challenging test than traditional pegboards.
• Lateral Brain Damage Assessment: Measures motor performance on both sides of the body, allowing inferences regarding potential lateral brain damage.
• Fine Motor Skill Evaluation: Assesses fine motor dexterity through a timed task, ideal for neuropsychological assessments and industrial screenings.
• Comprehensive Testing Kit: Includes pegs and an examiner’s manual with norms for standardized testing and reliable comparisons.
