Salami, Sedigheh; Bandeira, Paulo Felipe Ribeiro; Gomes, Cristiano Mauro Assis; Dehkordi, Parvaneh Shamsipour – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2022
Aim: To examine the latent structure of the "Test of Gross Motor Development--Third Edition" (TGMD-3) with a bifactor modeling approach. In addition, the study examines the dimensionality and model-based reliability of general and specific contributions of the test's subscales and measurement invariance of the TGMD-3. Methods: A…

Bauminger-Zviely, Nirit; Shefer, Analia – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Peer interaction can be challenging in autism spectrum disorder, but naturalistic peer-observation scales for preschoolers are scarce. This study examined psychometric qualities of the newly developed Autism Peer Interaction Observation Scale. We tested the Autism Peer Interaction Observation Scale to (a) characterize peer interactions of…

Kambas, A.; Venetsanou, F.; Giannakidou, D.; Fatouros, I. G.; Avloniti, A.; Chatzinikolaou, A.; Draganidis, D.; Zimmer, R. – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2012
Given the negative influence of motor difficulties on people's quality of life their early identification seems to be crucial and consequently the information provided by a sound assessment tool is of great importance. The aim of this study was to examine the suitability of the MOT 4-6 (Zimmer & Volkamer, 1987) for use with preschoolers in…

Halverson, Lolas; Williams, Kathleen – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 1985
Proposed developmental steps for hopping over distance were tested to determine their comprehensiveness and accuracy. The proposed arm action component required modification, but the leg action was properly ordered. The pattern of sex differences was consistent with earlier research. The non-chosen leg was developmentally behind the chosen leg in…
