“…There were three studies under this category using very different paradigms, two of good quality (Table SXII): bimodal stimuli (i.e. object location specified by visual and auditory cuing) was shown to improve motor planning of aiming movements in DCD but not controls; a another study showed a negligible relationship between sensory integration ability and everyday functional skills; the third showed that children with DCD were capable of making multisensory visual‐to‐motor adaptations in response to a visual feedback rotation …”

Taken together, results support the hypothesis that children with DCD show differences in brain structure and function compared with typically developing children. Behaviourally, these differences may affect anticipatory planning and reduce automatization of movement skill, prompting greater reliance on slower feedback-based control and compensatory strategies. Implications for future research, theory development, and clinical practice are discussed.

“…Reaction time (RT) tasks have also been used as an indicator of auditory-motor processes [65][66][67]. For example, RT was measured to assess how auditory stimuli influence the performance in an aiming task (i.e., moving a finger from the start position to the target button) as part of a multisensory paradigm [67].…”

Auditory–Perceptual and Auditory–Motor Timing Abilities in Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder: A Scoping Review

Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) remains largely underdiagnosed and masked by other co-occurring conditions. The aim of this study was to (1) provide the first review of research regarding auditory–motor timing and synchronization abilities in children with DCD and (2) examine whether reduced motor performance may be associated with difficulties in auditory perceptual timing. The scoping review was carried out across five major databases (MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and Scopus) in accordance with the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Studies were screened by two independent reviewers against the inclusion criteria, without publication date restrictions. From an initial return of 1673 records, 16 articles were included in the final review and synthesized based on the timing modality studied (i.e., auditory–perceptual, motor, or auditory–motor). Results suggest that children with DCD have difficulties with rhythmic movements both with and without external auditory cues and further indicate that variability in and slowness of motor response are key characteristics of DCD, regardless of the experimental task. Importantly, our review highlights a significant gap in the literature regarding auditory perceptual abilities in DCD. In addition to testing auditory perception, future studies should compare the performance of children with DCD on paced and unpaced tasks to determine whether auditory stimuli contribute to a more or less stable performance. This knowledge may inform future therapeutic interventions.

“…Research shows that children with DCD exhibit slower, more variable reaction times compared to typically developing children as a result of either slower processing speed, inefficient preparation of movement or both [15]. Motor planning appears to be impaired in DCD on most but not all tasks.…”

“…Tests of visuomotor adaptation have shown that children with DCD present a lower capacity to adapt their movement to different task constraints. This has been shown by a higher movement variability, lower movement accuracy and/or longer movement durations [15]. Movement times or durations are frequently reported to be longer in children with DCD than in typically developing children, probably as a result of a stronger reliance on visual information for movement control [20].…”

“…In order to acquire proper motor skills, adequate visual feedback is necessary [13]. Children with DCD present some difficulties in sensory processing and integration [14,15], especially in visual perception [16,17]. These deficits in visual perception, as well as other visual disturbances present in children with DCD, appear to affect motor skills [15,16,18].…”

Background: Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) is a developmental disorder in which numerous comorbidities seem to coexist, such as motor and visual impairment and some executive functions; Methods: A narrative review on motor and visual deficits in children with DCD was carried out; Results and Discussion: Fine and gross motor skills are affected in children with DCD. In addition, they seem to be related to visual deficits, such as difficulty in visual perception, sensory processing and visual memory. Limitations have also been found in accommodation. Interventions in children with DCD should be aimed at improving both aspects, since vision affects motor skills and vice versa; Conclusions: In children with DCD, who present a marked deficit in global shape processing, it causes an association between deficiencies in visual perception and motor skills.
