Lejeune, Caroline; Catale, Corinne; Willems, Sylvie; Meulemans, Thierry – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2013
The purpose of the present study was to explore the possibility of a procedural learning deficit among children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD). We tested 34 children aged 6-12 years with and without DCD using the serial reaction time task, in which the standard keyboard was replaced by a touch screen in order to minimize the impact…

de Campos, Ana Carolina; da Costa, Carolina Souza Neves; Savelsbergh, Geert J. P.; Rocha, Nelci Adriana Cicuto Ferreira – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2013
During infant development, objects and their functions are learned by means of active exploration. Factors that may influence exploration include reaching and grasping ability, object properties and the presence of developmental disorders. We assessed the development of exploratory actions in 16 typically-developing (TD) infants and 9 infants with…

Engel-Yeger, Batya; Ziv-On, Daniella – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2011
Sensory processing difficulties (SPD) are prevalent among children with ADHD. Yet, the question whether different SPD characterize children with different types of ADHD has not received enough attention in the literature. The current study characterized sensory processing difficulties (SPD) of children with different types of ADHD and explored the…

Prediction of Participation and Sensory Modulation of Late Preterm Infants at 12 Months: A Prospective Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Bart, O.; Shayevits, S.; Gabis, L. V.; Morag, I. – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2011
The aim of the study was to prospectively assess the differences in participation and sensory modulation between late preterm infants (LPI) and term babies, and to predict it by LPI characteristics. The study population includes 124 late preterm infants at gestational age between 34 and 35 6/7 weeks who were born at the same medical center. The…
