    Both children and students demonstrated an "overlap effect" in slow arm movements without visual cues. Children were less accurate and showed greater hand dominance effects compared to students.

    Area of Science:

    • Motor control research
    • Human movement science
    • Developmental psychology

    Background:

    • Understanding motor control and spatial awareness is crucial for human development.
    • Previous research indicates visual feedback significantly influences movement accuracy.
    • The impact of age on motor performance without visual cues requires further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare motor control accuracy between children and students in a visually deprived environment.
    • To investigate the presence and characteristics of the 'overlap effect' in different age groups.
    • To determine if hand dominance influences movement accuracy differently in children versus students.

    Main Methods:

    • Participants performed slow, unguided arm movements toward a target indicated tactilely.

  • Visual cues were excluded during the movement task.
  • Movement accuracy and directional errors were recorded for both dominant and non-dominant hands.

    • Main Results:

    • Both children and students exhibited an 'overlap effect,' with contralateral errors in arm movements.
    • Children demonstrated significantly lower overall accuracy compared to students.
    • Children showed a significant asymmetry, with dominant hand movements being more accurate than non-dominant hand movements.

    Conclusions:

    • The 'overlap effect' is present in both children and students, suggesting a fundamental aspect of motor control.
    • Age-related differences in motor accuracy are evident, with children being less precise.
    • Hand dominance plays a more significant role in motor performance accuracy for children compared to young adults.
