Purcell, Catherine; Wann, John P.; Wilmut, Kate; Poulter, Damian – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2011
As pedestrians, the perceptual ability to accurately judge the relative rate of approaching vehicles and select a suitable crossing gap requires sensitivity to looming. It also requires that crossing judgments are synchronized with motoric capabilities. Previous research has suggested that children with Developmental Co-ordination Disorder (DCD)…

Cairney, John; Hay, John; Veldhuizen, Scott; Faught, Brent – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2010
Oxygen consumption at peak physical exertion (VO[subscript 2] maximum) is the most widely used indicator of cardiorespiratory fitness. The purpose of this study was to compare two protocols for its estimation, cycle ergometer testing and the 20 m shuttle run, among children with and without probable developmental coordination disorder (pDCD). The…

Boets, Bart; De Smedt, Bert; Ghesquiere, Pol – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2011
Recent findings suggest deficits in coherent motion sensitivity, an index of visual dorsal stream functioning, in children with poor mathematical skills or dyscalculia, a specific learning disability in mathematics. We extended these data using a longitudinal design to unravel whether visual dorsal stream functioning is able to "predict"…
