Visuo-motor attention during object interaction in children with developmental coordination disorder

Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) describes a condition of poor motor performance in the absence intellectual impairment. Despite being one most prevalent developmental disorders, little is known about how fundamental visuomotor processes might function this group. One idea children with DCD interact their environment less predictive fashion than typically developing children. A metric prediction which has not been examined group degree to hands and eyes are coordinated when performing manual tasks. To end, we hand eye movements during an object lifting task (n = 19) age-matched without 39). We observed no differences between groups terms well they objects, nor by led hand. thus find evidence support proposition that coordinate non-predictive fashion. In follow-up exploratory analysis did, however, note patterns groups, showing some atypical visual sampling strategies gaze anchoring behaviours task.
