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…

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…

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…

Sachet, Alison B.; Frey, Scott H.; Jacobs, Stéphane; Taylor, Marjorie – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2016
The development of the correspondence between real and imagined motor actions was investigated in 2 experiments. Experiment 1 evaluated whether children imagine body position judgments of fine motor actions in the same way as they perform them. Thirty-two 8-year-old children completed a task in which an object was presented in different…

Hach, Sylvia; Schutz-Bosbach, Simone – Brain and Cognition, 2010
A difference in the perception of extrapersonal space has been shown to exist between dextrals and sinistrals. On the classical line bisection task, this difference is evident in a greater left bias for dextrals compared to sinistrals. Different modalities and regions of space can be affected. However, it has not yet been investigated whether a…

Cordova, Alberto; Gabbard, Carl – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2011
In this study the authors examined children's ability to code visual information into an egocentric frame of reference for planning reach movements. Children and adults estimated reach distance via motor imagery in immediate and response-delay conditions. Actual maximum reach was compared to estimates in multiple locations in peripersonal and…

Cordova, Alberto; Gabbard, Carl – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2012
Theory suggests that the vision-for-perception and vision-for-action processing streams operate under very different temporal constraints (Glover, 2004; Goodale, Jackobson, & Keillor, 1994; Graham, Bradshaw, & Davis, 1998; Hu, Eagleson, & Goodale, 1999). With the present study, children and young adults were asked to estimate how far a cued target…

Wilbourn, Makeba Parramore; Gottfried, Allen W.; Kee, Daniel W. – Developmental Psychology, 2011
The relationship between consistency of hand preference, left hemispheric specialization, and cognitive functioning was examined in an ongoing longitudinal investigation. Children were classified as consistent or inconsistent in their hand preference across 5 assessments from ages 18 to 42 months. Findings demonstrated that (a) this early…
