Kunchulia, Marina; Tatishvili, Tamari; Parkosadze, Khatuna; Lomidze, Nino; Thomaschke, Roland – International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2020
Objectives: We studied timed-based expectancy as well as general perceptual-motor speed in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Methods: In Experiment 1, 11 children with ASD and 11 typically developing children (TD) (6-13 years) completed a binary choice response task in which foreperiod duration predicted the response target's location…

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…

Reaction Time and Anticipation Time: Effects of Development.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Thomas, Jerry R.; And Others – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 1981
Results of a study indicated that, as age increased from seven to 20 years, reaction time decreased, with males having a more rapid reaction time than females. Beginning at age 10 or 11, subjects developed better motor plans and relied less on rapid reaction time to achieve good anticipation time. (FG)

A Developmental Study of Shape Integration Over Space and Time.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Enns, James T.; Girgus, Joan S. – Developmental Psychology, 1986
Three experiments with observers aged 6 to 21 years of age examined the integration of shape information over successive glances. Results indicated age-related improvements in the sequential integration of shape information, both when integration occurs through successive glimpses over space and when information is separated only in time.

Developmental Changes in the Processing of Hierarchical Shapes Continue into Adolescence.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Mondloch, Catherine J.; Geldart, Sybil; Maurer, Daphne; de Schonen, Scania – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2003
Three experiments obtained same-different judgments from children and adults to trace normal development of local and global processing of hierarchical visual forms. Findings indicated that reaction time was faster on global trials than local trials; bias was stronger in children and diminished to adult levels between ages 10 and 14. Reaction time…

Processing Time Declines Exponentially during Childhood and Adolescence.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kail, Robert – Developmental Psychology, 1991
Children and adults were tested on six speeded perceptual-motor and cognitive tasks, including a (1) response time task; (2) button tapping task; (3) pegboard task; (4) coding task; (5) picture matching task; and (6) mental addition task. Age-related change in processing time on most of these tasks was described by a single exponential function.…
