Abstract:

Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is characterised by impairments to motor control and learning, the cause of which remains unclear. Recently, researchers have used cognitive neuroscientific approaches to explore the basis of poor coordination in children, with one hypothesis suggesting that an internal modelling deficit (IMD) is one of the underlying causes of DCD. The aim of this thesis was to further test the IMD hypothesis using a motor imagery paradigm - the mental rotation of hands. Versions of this task were used in all studies to assess motor imagery ability, with an additio

Abstract:

Bright children who have abnormal difficulty in acquiring age-appropriate motor skills are of increasing concern to parents, teachers and health professionals. Longitudinal studies have found the condition to be associated with educational under-achievement, impaired social development and disturbed mental well-being in adult life. Now officially known as Developmental Coordination Disorder (DC D), the question of whether this condition should really be viewed as a distinct diagnostic entity is the central theme of this thesis. In the opening chapters, the history of terms used to signify 'clu

Abstract:

Learning to write is onerous and takes several years to master. It is particularly taxing for children with dyslexia and/or developmental coordination disorder (DCD) who appear to have difficulties with spelling and handwriting skills which are critical for writing development. Yet, little is known about the nature of these difficulties. A complicating factor to understanding the nature of spelling and handwriting impairments in dyslexia and DCD is the reported frequent comorbidity and the unclear relationship between the two disorders.

Abstract:

This study compared the motor performance of children identified with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) with those of a matched group categorised as typically developing (TD). Based on the existing literature, vertical jumping was the task selected as it is a fundamental movement skill (Gallahue & Ozmun, 2002), and a single optimal coordination pattern has been shown to exist (e.g., Bobbert & van Ingen Schenau, 1998).Within the conceptual framework developed for this enquiry, jump height, the performance outcome, was the highest level variable.

Metacognition is the monitoring, evaluating, and correction of one's own performance while engaged in an intellectual task. It has been explored within educational psychology in various cognitive and academic domains, for example, general problem solving, physics, reading, writing, and mathematics, and with different populations including children who are gifted, children who have learning disabilities, as well as children who have intellectual delays. Research in these areas has demonstrated that the use of metacognition differs with different levels of ability. Metacognition has rarely been

A ball catching activity (catching 10 consecutive balls in five different positions) and the developmental sequences proposed by Haywood and Getchell (2005) were used to evaluate movement patterns. Children with DCD caught significantly fewer balls than their peers at the chest and above the head. Children with DCD demonstrated delayed arm action catching on the right and delayed body act

Abstract:

The overall goal of this study was to explore the nature of planning in children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DeD) using non-Representational and Representational gestures and praxis imagery. This goal was addressed three core aims which were: i) to compare the nature of praxic performance between two groups of children with OeD; one selected from schools (sDCD) and another from clinics (cOCO) with typically developing age-matched children (AMC); ii) to allow a direct comparison of praxic performance between sDCD and cOCO groups and iii) to compare the nature of praxic performance

Abstract:

The overall aim of this thesis is to identify methods of improving the efficiency and effectiveness of occupational therapy services to children with developmental coordination disorder and their families. A method of applying the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual IV diagnostic criteria for developmental coordination disorder in a clinical setting is described. This process found that the majority (69%) of referrals were inappropriate. These included children whose difficulties could not be attributed to coordination as they scored above the fifteenth percentile on the Movement Assessment Batt

Abstract:

AIMS The aim was to examine the theoretical and clinical plausibility of subtypes of movement difficulty, and explore the impact subtypes and/or additional factors would have on motor development. BACKGROUND Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is a chronic, often permanent condition evident from early childhood, characterised by difficulties performing a range of movement tasks that are not explainable by neurological or psychological impairments. The aetiology of the condition is unknown and various theories of motor development and impairment have been used to try and explain the varia

Abstract:

Introduction: With a prevalence of 5-6%, developmental coordination disorder (DCD) is one of the most common disorders of childhood. Children with DCD struggle to learn new motor skills, but the neurological mechanisms underlying the disorder are essentially unknown. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis was three-fold: (1) to present a synopsis of current literature examining the potential neural correlates of DCD; (2) to determine if patterns of brain activity differed between children with and without DCD while performing a fine-motor task; and (3) to investigate whether children with DCD are
