Right - Left Confusion?

Let's test your ability to tell right from left. In this experiment you are required to say if a hand is pointing up, down, left or right.

As soon as the pictures appear on your screen, "read" the hands as fast as you can. When you have finished, click on the "Finish" button. The time it took you to read all of the hands will be shown. If you want to try the same set of hands, click on the "reload" button of your browser. If you want to continue with the experiment, click on "Continue Experiment."
