DEV MED CHILD NEUROL , 2005, vol. 47, n° 7, p. 437-442 Doc n°: 121146 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : AJ1 - ETUDES GENERALES - NEUROLOGIE INFANTILE, JJ - SCOLARITE ET HANDICAP Children with motor coordination problems are known to have emotional difficulties and poor social skills. The current study investigated whether children with poor motor ability have poor emotion recognition skills, and whether these could be linked to problems in social behaviour. It was hypothesized that difficulties in empathic ability might be related to the poor visuo-spatial processing ability identified in children with developmental coordination disorder (as defined by the American Psychiatric Association). The relationship between motor coordination, emotion recognition, and social behaviour was examined in a sample of 234 children (113 males, 121 females; mean age 9y 7mo, [SD 1y 8mol age range 6y 8mo to 12y 11mo). From this sample two groups of 39 children each (17 females, 22 males), one group with motor difficulties (mean age 9y 11mo [SD 2y], range 6y 11mo to 12y 11mo) Langue : ANGLAIS |
