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…

Bo, Jin; Lee, Chi-Mei – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2013
Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) are characterized as having motor difficulties and learning impairment that may last well into adolescence and adulthood. Although behavioral deficits have been identified in many domains such as visuo-spatial processing, kinesthetic perception, and cross-modal sensory integration, recent…

Tsang, William W. N.; Guo, X.; Fong, Shirley S. M.; Mak, Kwok-Kei; Pang, Marco Y. C. – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2012
Purpose: This study aimed (1) to compare the skeletal maturity and activity participation pattern between children with and without developmental coordination disorder (DCD); and (2) to determine whether activity participation pattern was associated with the skeletal development among children with DCD. Materials and methods: Thirty-three children…

A Preliminary Study on the Effect of Methylphenidate on Motor Performance in Children with Comorbid DCD and ADHD
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Bart, Orit; Podoly, Tamar; Bar-Haim, Yair – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2010
Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) and Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) are two developmental disorders with considerable comorbidity. The impact of Methylphenidate (MPH) on ADHD symptoms is well documented. However, the effects of MPH on motor coordination are less studied. We assessed the influence of MPH on motor performance…

Movement Assessment Battery for Children (M-ABC): Establishing Construct Validity for Israeli Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Engel-Yeger, Batya; Rosenblum, Sara; Josman, Naomi – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2010
The Movement Assessment Battery for Children (M-ABC) is one of the most accepted tools, both in clinical practice and in research, for the diagnosis of Developmental Coordination Disorders (DCDs) in children. The present study aimed to: (1) establish the construct validity of M-ABC in Israel by comparing the motor performance of typically…

Nikolic, Snezana J.; Ilic-Stosovic, Danijela D. – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2009
The main goal of this research was to establish the prevalence, form of manifestation, level and kind of motor skill disorders in three area of motor development functioning: neuromaturation, coordination and balance. The sample included 1165 children, between 6.5 and 11 years of age. The protocol was constructed and contained tests for the…

Chen, Yu-Wei; Tseng, Mei-Hui; Hu, Fu-Chang; Cermak, Sharon A. – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2009
This study examined the consistency between the findings of developmental coordination disorder (DCD) as identified by the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (BOTMP) and the Movement Assessment Battery for Children (MABC), and explored the psychosocial and attention characteristics of children with DCD identified by the two motor tests,…
