Differences in the accuracy (AE, CE) and consistency (VE) of anticipation of coincidence on the Bassin Timer were evaluated by sex, age, and videogame experience for 105 7- to 9-yr.-old children. Analyses indicated that (a) videogame experience was associated with both accuracy and consistency of anticipation of coincidence and (b) sex differences may be negated by increased videogame experience.

The purpose of this study was to assess the relative interrelationships of age, sex, and depth of sport experience on initial practice of a soccer task for 46 4- to 9-yr.-old children. Each child practiced 1 transfer trial and 3 blocks of 3 trials. Measures recorded were performance time, goal attainment, and movement accuracy. Multivariate analyses of variance and multiple regressions yielded evidence for (a) a speed-accuracy tradeoff, (b) a relation of age to goal attainment, movement accuracy, and performance time on the transfer trial, and (c) a relation of age with Block 1 performance time. Experience was more related than sex to all variables except movement accuracy in Block 1 and consistency of goal attainment. Conclusions are that age and experience are the most important to the quality of performance, and no constructs were related to consistency on this task for this age group.
