Rod and Frame Task Data Set

Description

This data set involves assessing children longitudinally at 6 age points from ages 4 through 18 years for the rod and frame task. This task sits the child in a darkened room in front of a luminous square frame tilted at 28 degrees on its axis to the left or right. Centered inside the frame was a luminous rod also tilted 28 degrees to the left or right. The child's task was to adjust the rod to the vertical position and the absolute deviation from the vertical (in degrees) was the measured response.
