Motor, visual and egocentric transformations in children with Developmental Coordination Disorder
Williams, J, Thomas, PR, Maruff, P, Butson, Michael and Wilson, P (2006) Motor, visual and egocentric transformations in children with Developmental Coordination Disorder. Child: Care, Health and Development, 32 (6). pp. 633-647. ISSN 0305-1862
Abstract
This study aimed to test the internal modelling deficit (IMD) hypothesis using the mental rotation paradigm. According to the IMD hypothesis, children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) have an impaired ability to internally represent action. Thirty-six children (18 DCD) completed four tasks: two versions of a single-hand rotation task (with and without explicit imagery instructions), a whole-body imagery task and an alphanumeric rotation task.
