Children

Area of Science:

  • Neuropsychology
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Child Development

Background:

  • Sensory and motor functions are crucial for children's development.
  • Understanding developmental trajectories in these functions is essential for identifying potential issues.
  • Previous research indicates maturational differences in sensory and motor skills.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine developmental and sex differences in sensory and motor functioning in children.
  • To investigate the relationship between sensory-motor skills and overall neuropsychological functioning.
  • To assess age-related changes in sensory and motor performance.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Dean-Woodcock Neuropsychological Assessment System (D-WNAS).
  • Administered sensory and motor subtests to 119 typically developing children aged 4 to 13 years.

  • Analyzed data for developmental (age) and sex differences.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant developmental differences were observed in sensory and motor functioning.
    • Older children (4-13 years) outperformed younger children on most subtests.
    • No significant differences were found between males and females, or in the interaction between sex and age.

    Conclusions:

    • Clear maturational differences exist in children's sensory and motor functions.
    • Age is a significant factor in the development of sensory and motor skills.
    • Sex does not appear to be a significant factor in these developmental changes within this age range.
