Neuropsychological skills with motor dysfunctional and motor normal children.
A group of 40 children was selected from a larger sample based on their performance on motor coordination, motor speed, and motor inhibition tasks. Twenty of the children were classified as Motor Dysfunctional (MD) and 20 were classified as Motor Normal (MN). The groups were compared on several neuropsychological measures. The results indicated the MD children were significantly lower on a number of measures, particularly those requiring sensory integration. There were not significant differences on several of the tasks, including those more complex in nature. The results are discussed in relation to developmental models of neuropsychological functioning.
