Lafayette Automatic Scoring Mirror Tracer

The Lafayette Automatic Scoring Mirror Tracer is a tracing device that tests reversal ability, hand-eye coordination, and learning. The subject is required to trace the star pattern while only being able to see its mirror image. This automated unit comes with an impulse counter which tallies each time the metal-tipped stylus leaves the anodised star pattern. 

Operation of the Automatic Scoring Mirror Tracer

The Lafayette Auto Scoring Mirror Tracer consists of an aluminium plate with a non-conducting black star pattern anodised into the surface. When this plate and the metallic-tracing stylus are both connected to the Silent Impulse Counter (included), the subject’s errors are automatically tallied. Provision has also been made to time the total amount of time that the subject’s stylus is outside the star pattern.

Operating Instructions for the Automatic Scoring Mirror Tracer

1.  Connect the binding post on the aluminium plate to the black input binding post on the counter
2.  Connect the stylus to the red input binding post on the Impulse Counter
3.  Be sure the switch on the Impulse Counter is on Start
4.  The counter may be reset to zero with the reset now located to the right of the Display window
