Instructions

This experiment will take approximately 30 minutes.

Please use your hand to control the mouse.

You will control the fly's shadow. Your goal is to follow the moving fly as closely as possible.

You will complete a series of trials. During some trials, the way your cursor responds to your movements may gradually change.

Try to adapt and stay as close to the fly as possible!

Mouse Required

Thank you for your interest in our study!

Unfortunately, this experiment requires the use of a computer mouse to ensure accurate tracking of hand movements. Trackpads and other input devices can affect the precision of our measurements.

If you have access to a mouse, you're welcome to return and participate using that device.

Note: Your response has been recorded for our records.

Thank You for Your Interest

We really appreciate you taking the time to complete the questionnaire!

This particular study is investigating how people with strongly dominant hand preference learn new motor skills. To ensure valid results, we can only include participants who consistently use the same hand for key everyday activities.

Based on your responses, your handedness pattern doesn't match our current recruitment criteria. This isn't a reflection on you — many people naturally use different hands for different tasks!

Please note: Your Prolific ID has been recorded. To maintain data integrity, you will not be able to retake this screening or participate in this study.
