Visual, kinaesthetic and cross-modal judgments of length by clumsy children: a comparison with young normal children. 1984

C Hulme, and A Smart, and G Moran, and I McKinlay

In a previous study, clumsy children, when compared to normal children of the same age, were found to be impaired in their ability to match the length of successively presented straight lines within and between the modalities of vision and kinaesthesis. The present study explores this finding further by comparing the clumsy children's performance with that of a group of younger normal children whose skills of movement are comparable to those of the clumsy children. It was found that the clumsy children's performance on the perceptual measures was equivalent to that of the younger normal children.
