Star mirror tracing

Basic Characteristics

  • Description

The star mirror tracing task is a visual and motor test that involves learning a new motor skill. The task requires that participants move a pencil to trace the diagram of a star while looking at their hand only as a reflection in a mirror. Drawing requires both visual and proprioceptive feedback to control muslce movement. The test is assessed based on how long it takes the participant to complete it and also how many times participants retrace a line.
