Abstract
Normative data on the Purdue Pegboard are presented, based on the performance of 206, right-handed male and female children between the ages of 2 years, 6 months and 5 years, 11 months. Results demonstrate developmental trends in the increased efficiency of peg placement for the right hand, left hand, and bimanual conditions. Scores increase monotonically with age; performances are stable, with high test-retest reliability. Continuity is evidenced between these data and those available for older children. Evidence for the dissociation of hand preference and peg placement efficiency in the younger groups is discussed.Keywords
