Abstract
Version 0.10 of the PEBL distribution contains a demonstration task called 'hunt'. The objective of this project was to examine normative behavior on this newly created test. A total of 44 volunteers (age 5 to 70) from a local science museum completed ten Hunt trials. The correlation between the total time to find the find target and the number of moves made was high (R(42) = .96, p < .0005). Partial evidence for a U-shaped association between age and Hunt performance was obtained. Additional research is needed to clarify the test-retest reliability and validity of the Hunt test.
