✦ Synopsis

Administered the Hand Test to 80 kindergarten age children (41 males and 39 females) and 90 second-grade-age-level children (46 males and 44 females). Results indicated that a number of significant Age, Sex and Age X Sex interactions were obtained on the Hand Test. The findings suggest that many responses considered to be indicators of disturbance or pathology in adults occur normally with children.
