Perceptual skills of children with developmental coordination disorder.

摘要: The aim of this study was to investigate whether children with a Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) experience problems in the processing visual, proprioceptive or tactile information. Different aspects visual perception were tested Test Visual Perception (DTVP-2), assessed Tactual Performance (TPT), and manual pointing task employed measure ability use information goal-directed movements. Nineteen DCD nineteen age sex-matched controls participated study. Differences between groups most pronounced subtests measuring visual-motor integration DTVP-2, two (visual closure position space). On average performed slightly below norm for perception, only three failing norm. task, made inconsistent responses towards targets all conditions (visual, visual-proprioceptive condition). No significant differences found absolute error. Inspection individual data revealed that failed on majority perceptual tasks modalities. Across tasks, no consistent pattern deficits appeared, illustrating heterogeneity DCD.
