O.; Pennell, Craig E.; Newbury, Dianne F.; Stein, John; Talcott, Joel B.; Bishop, Dorothy V. M.; Paracchini, Silvia – Child Development, 2023
Handedness has been studied for association with language-related disorders because of its link with language hemispheric dominance. No clear pattern has emerged, possibly because of small samples, publication bias, and heterogeneous criteria across studies. Non-right-handedness (NRH) frequency was assessed in N = 2503 cases with reading and/or…

Mumford, Katherine H.; Aussems, Suzanne; Kita, Sotaro – Developmental Science, 2023
Previous research has shown a strong positive association between right-handed gesturing and vocabulary development. However, the causal nature of this relationship remains unclear. In the current study, we tested whether gesturing with the right hand enhances linguistic processing in the left hemisphere, which is contralateral to the right hand.…

Nuray Akkaya; Bürge Kabukçu Basay; Özkan Urak; Ömer Basay; Füsun Sahin – Journal of Attention Disorders, 2025
Objective: The study aimed to investigate whether the fine motor skills measured by the Functional Dexterity Test (FDT) in ADHD children differ from healthy controls. The second aim was to assess the applicability of the FDT assessment method among ADHD children. Method: The FDT results as an objective assessment of hand skills were compared…

Olga Kechagia; Ermioni Katartzi; Eleni Fotiadou; Paraskevi Giagazoglou – Alberta Journal of Educational Research, 2024
The main aim of the present study was to identify motor difficulties in Greek preschoolers. Secondary aims were to identify possible differences in prevalence of motor difficulties related to gender, age, body mass index, place of residence, and hand preference. 302 preschoolers were assessed using the first age band (3-6 years) of the Movement…

Serrien, Deborah J.; O'Regan, Louise – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2022
Hemispheric lateralisation is a fundamental principle of functional brain organisation. We studied two core cognitive functions--language and visuospatial attention--that typically lateralise in opposite cerebral hemispheres. In this work, we tested both left- and right-handed participants on lexical decision-making as well as on symmetry…

Carmen Bonafede; Elna van der Merwe – International Journal of Early Childhood, 2024
Proprioceptive kinaesthetic control underpins motor movements of developing children and can be influenced by several factors. The main aim of this study was to establish proprioceptive kinaesthetic coordination differences in six-year-olds from different school quintiles, of different genders, and with different handedness. A total of 193…

Schott, Nadja – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2023
Research has shown that nonright-handedness in children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) is associated with poorer motor and cognitive performance. This study investigated the influence of degree and direction of handedness on performance using the Home Handedness Questionnaire, the Hitthe-Dot test, the Movement Assessment Battery…

Firat Tas – Shanlax International Journal of Education, 2023
Amateur music education, which individuals pursue with a hobbyist spirit based on their own desires and interests, can be defined as music education received for personal enjoyment. In Turkey, it is observed that individuals engaged in amateur music education mostly focus on instrumental training, with the violin being one of the most preferred…

Profeta, Vitor Leandro da Silva; Campos, Claisyellen Silva – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2023
Different individuals learn different solutions to the same perceptual-motor task regardless of the fact that they may undergo the same practice conditions. In the current study, we characterized individual solutions to a perceptual-motor task. Eighteen self-declared right-handed participants were requested to intercept a moving target controlling…

Takarae, Yukari; Zanesco, Anthony; Keehn, Brandon; Chukoskie, Leanne; Müller, Ralph-Axel; Townsend, Jeanne – Developmental Science, 2022
EEG microstates represent transient electrocortical events that reflect synchronized activities of large-scale networks, which allows investigations of brain dynamics with sub-second resolution. We recorded resting EEG from 38 children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Development (ASD) and 48 age, IQ, sex, and handedness-matched typically…

Matthew Sargent; Alex LePage; Yoed N. Kenett; Heath E. Matheson – Creativity Research Journal, 2023
Accounts of embodied cognition suggest that environmental scene and motor information can be used in a type of neural simulation when generating creative uses for manipulable objects. A scarce amount of studies suggests that the state of the body and environment play a role in people's ability to devise creative uses for objects. In this…

Jessica Charlotte Kawalek; F. Gobet – Journal of Dance Education, 2024
This paper examines the link between cognitive processes and superior performance in contemporary dance. In the first study, thirty-six participants (professional dancers, nonprofessional dancers, and non-dancers) carried out a task in which they were asked to reproduce a sequence of dance steps while being recorded on a camcorder. Analysis…

Fischer, Jean-Paul; Thierry, Xavier – Journal of Cognitive Education and Psychology, 2021
The French National Cohort of Children Study ("Etude Longitudinale Française depuis l'Enfance"--ELFE) tested the literacy and numeracy skills of 4- to 5-year-old typically developing children in the second year of "école maternelle." Tasks were administered by more than 4,000 teachers at schools across France. One of the…

Grasso, Camille L.; Ziegler, Johannes C.; Mirault, Jonathan; Coull, Jennifer T.; Montant, Marie – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
The processing of time activates a spatial left-to-right mental timeline, where past events are "located" to the left and future events to the right. If past and future words activate this mental timeline, then the processing of such words should interfere with hand movements that go in the opposite direction. To test this hypothesis, we…

Buchan, Duncan S.; Boddy, Lynne M.; McLellan, Gillian – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2020
This study evaluated agreement in activity outcomes from ActiGraph accelerometers worn on both wrists in a laboratory and free-living setting. Part 1: Thirty-seven participants (25.5 ± 10.5 years) completed laboratory activities. Part 2: Thirty-nine participants (28.5 ± 9.8 years) wore accelerometers for 7 days. Outcomes included average…
