One of a number of tasks used to measure speed and accuracy of hand movement. The individual must move dowelling pegs either from one pegboard to another or from the back to the front of the same board. On the premise that such tasks are less practised that those normally listed in handedness questionnaires, or inventories, it is widely supposed that they provide a ‘purer’ measure of handedness (i.e., one that is less contaminated by prior experience).
