Each of 20 participants were measured doing a "transfer task" several times under each of four conditions. The transfer task was to pick up an item with the right hand thumb and index finger, pass the item through a small hole and grab it with the left hand, and then put the item into a box that had a hole in the lid. Sometimes the participant's fingers were wrinkled; sometimes the items were sitting in water.
