Objective:Motor tests, including Finger-Tapping Test, Grooved Pegboard Test, and Grip Strength Test, are frequently used by neuropsychologists when assessing pediatric populations. Many of the norms available for these measures are outdated, have not been co-normed, and have samples with limited diversity. This study aims to provide updated, co-norms for three commonly used motor tasks with a diverse population.Method:Participants (n = 476; age range 6–14) were recruited from community settings to complete each of the three motor tests.Results:Results demonstrate generally improved performance across ages with no significant difference between performance of males and females on the Grooved Pegboard Test or the Finger Tapping Test. The only significant findings were on the Grip Strength Test where 12–14-year-old boys demonstrated stronger performance on the dominant hand.Conclusion:This study provides updated and co-normed data on frequently used motor tasks with a diverse pediatric sample, which are useful for clinicians.

社区样本中手指敲击、握力和凹槽钉板的儿科共同规范

目的：神经心理学家在评估儿科人群时经常使用运动测试，包括手指敲击测试、凹槽钉板测试和握力测试。许多可用于这些措施的规范已经过时，没有统一规范，样本的多样性有限。本研究旨在为具有不同人群的三种常用运动任务提供更新的共同规范。方法：参与者（n= 476; 年龄范围 6-14 岁）从社区环境中招募来完成三项运动测试中的每一项。结果：结果表明，在凹槽钉板测试或手指敲击测试中，男性和女性的表现在不同年龄段的表现普遍有所提高，男性和女性的表现没有显着差异。唯一重要的发现是握力测试，其中 12-14 岁的男孩在惯用手表现出更强的表现。结论：本研究提供了关于经常使用的运动任务的更新和共同规范的数据，其中包含不同的儿科样本，其中对临床医生有用。
