Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The time of execution of each task in the pretest, posttest and retention test is measured by having the participant pressing a timer button before the execution of the task until an auditory tone and after executing the task. This will give the reaction time, the time between the auditory tone and the release of the button, as well as the movement time, the total time between the release of the button and the return to the button at the end of the trial. In the two force control tasks the extent to which objects are compressed is measured. This can be translated to the amount of force applied. Since the instruction is to not compress the object, in this task the force control is measured.	—
