Abstract
The subjects in this experiment were volunteers who were undergraduate students enrolled at Grand Valley State University, ranging from 18 to 24 years of age. Prior to the experiment, subjects were asked to take a pre-test survey to determine their cerebral dominance. To measure mirror-tracing ability, subjects used a mirror-tracing apparatus to trace 3 symmetrical and 3 asymmetrical shapes. Each subject was then scored based on the number of errors in drawing the form, as well as the time used to complete each form.
