Usage Instrustions: Simulated Food Cutting
Place the knife to the side of the timer unit (right side for right-handed assessments, left side for left-handed assessments). Place the plasticine 'food item' in the designated area on the form board (mould to look like a sausage and fit approximately the area on the form board). Pick up the knife, using the other hand to steady the plasticine. Cut it clearly into two sections. Then replace the knife on the form board. Reset the task by remoulding the plasticine for the participant.
"Start the timer, use the knife provided to cut the plasticine clearly into two pieces, as demonstrated and as quickly as possible. You may use the other hand to steady the plasticine. Return the knife to its starting position on the board and the stop the timer."
