Measuring Motor Rhythmic Ability in Children

Research Quarterly. American Alliance for Health, Physical Education and Recreation, 1976
Abstract Methods of determining gross motor rhythmic ability were studied in subjects (N=44) 5 yr of age. Using a rhythmic ability analysis system subjects performed 8 trials in each of 3 stimulus modalities, audio, visual, and audio-visual. The time-space response characteristics were also observed as a function of sex and the externally paced or self-

Conceptions of Ability Affect Motor Learning

Journal of Motor Behavior, 2009
The authors examined the effects of induced conceptions of ability on motor learning. Participants in 3 groups practiced a balance task after receiving instructions suggesting that the task would reflect an inherent ability (IA group), represent an acquirable skill (AS group), or no ability-related instructions (control group).

Exploring the General Motor Ability Construct

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 2011
Malaysian students ages 12 to 15 years ( N = 330; 165 girls, 165 boys) took the Australian Institute of Sport Talent Identification Test (AIST) and the Balance and Movement Coordination Test (BMC), developed specifically to identify sport talent in Malaysian adolescents.

Cognitive-Motor Abilities of the Elderly Driver

Human Factors: The Journal of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, 1992
This article reviews literature that documents the effects of age on motor performance as it relates to driving behavior. Movement initiation is the focal point of the first part of the article, and it is considered in terms of absolute age differences when functional manipulations are made, such as response preparation, response selection, response ...

Perceptual-Motor Ability and Intellectual Ability of Kindergarten Age Children

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1973
Scores on the Kuhlmann-Anderson, Herndon's adaptation of the Figure Reproduction Test, and the Pearman revision of the Lincoln-Oseretsky test for 24 boys and 22 girls of kindergarten age suggested intelligence is not strongly related to perceptual-motor skill and low Herndon performance is associated with poor cognitive functioning. As no norms are yet

RELATION OF PERCEPTUAL-MOTOR ABILITY AND INTELLECTUAL ABILITY IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILDREN

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1967
Third- and fourth-grade children were administered a series of perceptual-motor tasks, termed the Figure Reproduction Test, and two tests of intellectual ability, the Pintner Test and Stanford Achievement Test. The results confirm the hypothesis that some children display a motoric style while others are represented by a conceptual style. Low positive,

The Development of Perceptual Motor Sequencing Ability

Journal of Motor Behavior, 1974
The purposes of this study were (a) to investigate the possibility that short-term memory may be a limiting factor in the development of perceptual-motor sequencing ability, (b) to determine whether sex differences exist in sequencing ability, (c) to determine whether organized information facilitates serial recall, and (d) to ascertain whether the ...

The Relationship between Perceptual and Motor Abilities

Research Quarterly. American Association for Health, Physical Education and Recreation, 1968
Abstract Eighty randomly selected kindergarten pupils were administered one of four figure-ground variations of a gross motor task in order to determine the effects of the various patterns on the performance of the task. All subjects were administered the figure-ground subtest of the Frostig Developmental Test of Visual Perception and the gross motor ...

Development of a Test of Motor-Planning Ability

Physical Therapy, 1980
Two hundred ten children ranging in age from 6 to 12 years were tested on a battery of items involving motor-planning ability. The most significant items from the original battery were selected through statistical analysis. From this selection, a brief and easy-to-administer test battery was devised that does not require any special equipment.

An Experimental Study of Motor Ability.

Journal of Experimental Psychology, 1921
The purpose of this investigation was to analyze motor ability. Three complex motor tests and fourteen elementary motor tests were given to 51 university juniors and seniors, their intelligence was measured by the Army Alpha scale, their university grades were computed, and their characters estimated by several judges.
