Thomas Gauduel; Camille Blondet; Sibylle Gonzalez-Monge; James Bonaiuto; Alice Gomez – Developmental Science, 2024
Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) impacts the quality of life and ability to perform coordinated actions in 5% of school-aged children. The quality of body representations of individuals with DCD has been questioned, but never assessed. We hypothesize that children with DCD have imprecise body representations in the sensory and motor…

Yang, Yang; Zuo, Zhentao; Tam, Fred; Graham, Simon J.; Li, Junjun; Ji, Yuzhu; Meng, Zelong; Gu, Chanyuan; Bi, Hong-Yan; Ou, Jian; Xu, Min – Developmental Science, 2022
Abundant behavioral studies have demonstrated high comorbidity of reading and handwriting difficulties in developmental dyslexia (DD), a neurological condition characterized by unexpectedly low reading ability despite adequate nonverbal intelligence and typical schooling. The neural correlates of handwriting deficits remain largely unknown;…

Lee, Mei-Hua; Farshchiansadegh, Ali; Ranganathan, Rajiv – Developmental Science, 2018
Examining age differences in motor learning using real-world tasks is often problematic due to task novelty and biomechanical confounds. Here, we investigated how children and adults acquire a novel motor skill in a virtual environment. Participants of three different age groups (9-year-olds, 12-year-olds, and adults) learned to use their upper…

Hsu, Hsinjen Julie; Bishop, Dorothy V. M. – Developmental Science, 2014
This study tested the procedural deficit hypothesis of specific language impairment (SLI) by comparing children's performance in two motor procedural learning tasks and an implicit verbal sequence learning task. Participants were 7- to 11-year-old children with SLI (n = 48), typically developing age-matched children (n = 20) and younger…

Del Giudice, Marco; Manera, Valeria; Keysers, Christian – Developmental Science, 2009
Mirror neurons are increasingly recognized as a crucial substrate for many developmental processes, including imitation and social learning. Although there has been considerable progress in describing their function and localization in the primate and adult human brain, we still know little about their ontogeny. The idea that mirror neurons result…
