The Hand-Eye Coordination of Literalities Report

The Hand-Eye Coordination of Literalities

Introduction
Human beings have dominated hands & dominate eyes. This is the hand, and eye we depend on most. Sometimes one person will have both the dominate hand, and dominate eye are on the same side of the body, that person is then ipsilateral. A person who has the dominate hand, and dominate eye on opposite sides of the body, however, is considered to be contralateral. This information leads to the question: Is there a difference in the hand eye coordination of different literalities? The hypothesis of this experiment is: Laterality makes no difference in hand-eye coordination. The reasoning for this that there is no evidence of any difference in the hand eye coordination of different literalities.

Procedure
Materials
Laser pointer
Fence
3 targets
Yardstick (to measure distances)
Methods
The 3 targets were attached to the fence. Test subjects closed one eye and stand 4 meters away. They would then point the laser at the targets with out turning it on. When they thought the laser was on the target they would turn the laser on. The results were measured with a point system: 15 pts for the core, 10 points for the next shell out, and 5 pts for the outer layer. This was tested with dominate hand/dominate eye as well as non-dominate hand non-dominate eye. These subjects were tested individually 10 times.

These results show that when testing there dominate hand/eye, the contralateral test subjects (Sarah & Zoe) scored the highest. The ipsilateral
