“…A few other studies report higher variance in bimanual tapping performance among children with DCD than TD children . Although one study reported that auditory perceptual sensitivity for beat‐based timing was not significantly different between TD and DCD groups, their adaptive psychophysical measurement of perceptual sensitivity was problematic, so this null finding should be treated with caution. Finally, one study reported that children with ADHD and DCD have deficits in tapping along to the beat of music, and in extracting the beat from complex temporal structures (i.e., music) …”

“…To understand potential auditory timing deficits in DCD, it is important to consider both duration timing and rhythm or beat-based timing. Duration a The study of Roche et al 64 used an adaptive procedure to track participants' auditory beat-based perceptual timing sensitivity: the trial difficulty increased after a participant made one correct same/different judgment, and the difficulty decreased after one error. The sensitivity threshold was estimated at the point at which participants make three errors.…”

“…However, the threshold should be estimated by averaging the peaks and troughs of the development of difficulty levels across trials. 97 Therefore, it is not clear how to interpret the nonsignificant perceptual difference reported by Roche et al 64 timing perception is one of the most commonly investigated aspects of time perception and is usually measured in terms of discrimination of filled intervals (onset to offset of a sound) or unfilled intervals (silent time between two short marker sounds). Research suggests that subsecond intervals are primarily processed by subcortical networks including basal ganglia and cerebellum, while intervals longer than a second are primarily processed by cortical areas, such as supplementary motor area and prefrontal cortex.…”

Time is an essential dimension for perceiving and processing auditory events, and for planning and producing motor behaviors. Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder affecting 5–6% of children that is characterized by deficits in motor skills. Studies show that children with DCD have motor timing and sensorimotor timing deficits. We suggest that auditory perceptual timing deficits may also be core characteristics of DCD. This idea is consistent with evidence from several domains, (1) motor‐related brain regions are often involved in auditory timing process; (2) DCD has high comorbidity with dyslexia and attention deficit hyperactivity, which are known to be associated with auditory timing deficits; (3) a few studies report deficits in auditory–motor timing among children with DCD; and (4) our preliminary behavioral and neuroimaging results show that children with DCD at age 6 and 7 have deficits in auditory time discrimination compared to typically developing children. We propose directions for investigating auditory perceptual timing processing in DCD that use various behavioral and neuroimaging approaches. From a clinical perspective, research findings can potentially benefit our understanding of the etiology of DCD, identify early biomarkers of DCD, and can be used to develop evidence‐based interventions for DCD involving auditory–motor training.

In this chapter, we ask two questions. First, can the study of the perception-action system across time offer a useful model for understanding motor development? Second, can the study of the perception-action system in children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) inform our understanding of atypical as well as typical motor development? We begin by describing the dynamical systems perspective and a control-theoretic approach that together provide the conceptual framework for our paradigms, methodology, and interpretation of our experiments. Our experimental strategy has been to perturb one or more sensory systems and observe the effect on the motor system. The majority of the chapter explains how we employed two principal perturbation strategies: (1) removing or adding a static source of sensory information believed to be salient to the task at hand and (2) enhancing a dynamic source of sensory information either implicitly or explicitly. These strategies were employed in three different action systems: posture; rhythmic interlimb coordination, and goal-directed reaching and drawing. After synthesizing our findings, we conclude by addressing the original questions and offering future directions. In brief, we consider that perception-action coupling is an underlying mechanism/foundation/constraint of motor development in the sense that the ongoing processing of sensations and the planning and execution of movements are how the brain produces goal-directed movements. Therefore, a better understanding of how this coupling changes or adapts over time has much to offer as to how motor behavior develops across the lifespan, both typically and atypically.
