Pursuit Rotor Task

Basic Characteristics

  • Description

The Pursuit Rotor Task is a way to measure motor coordination and motor learning. The test includes a turntable with a metal dot on the platter. The person being tested must keep a flexible metal wand on the dot. Performace on the test is scored as total time on the target (TOT) or stylus-target contacts (HITS).
