title: Mirror peg-turning performance of children.
abstract: Performance differences for 120 elementary school children from three grade levels were identified using a novel motor skill. Females performed the tasks faster and with less variable error than males, and the older children performed better than the younger subjects. These results provide support for a developmental progression of motor skill, based upon maturation and environmental influence.
