Age, Sex, Speed, and Practice in Coincidence-Anticipation Performance of Children

Abstract: The effect of age, sex, speed, and practice on coincidence-anticipation (C/A) performance of elementary school children was investigated. 84 elementary school children, 7 boys and 7 girls at Ages 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 yr., served as subjects for the study. Subjects were given 24 C/A trials, 6 each at 4 speeds, randomly presented. Subjects were required to lift the foot off a spring switch in coincidence with the arrival of a ball at a target flag. A score was determined as the difference between actual time … Show more

“…The idea that the sex difference appeared post-puberty was prompted by three failures to find the sex difference in children age 5-12 years (Isaacs, 1983;Wrisberg & Mead, 1981, 1983. However, sex differences favoring males have been reported not only for adolescents (Rodrigues, Freitas, Vasconcelos, & Barreiros, 2007;Rodrigues, Vasconcelos, Barreiros, Barbosa, & Trifilio, 2009;Smith & McPhee, 1987;Williams, Katene, & Fleming, 2002) but also for children as young as 6 or 7 years (Bard, Fleury, Carrière, & Bellec, 1981;Dorfman, 1977;Dunham, 1977;Dunham & Reid, 1987). Readers interested in wider aspects of time estimation are directed to two recent reviews (Grodin, 2008;Meck, 2003).…”

“…Previous research also has found age to be an important factor influencing prediction performance on Type P-II tasks (Dorfman, 1977;Dunham, 1977;Stadulis, 1971;Thomas, Gallagher, & Purvis, 1981) although there has been little agreement between studies concerning the specific ages at which the major performance differences appear. For example, Dorfman (1977) observed significant differences between subjects from three age groups corresponding to those used in the present study.…”

“…Typically, analyses of prediction performance (sometimes called coincidence-anticipation) have employed only Type II criterion tasks (Dorfman, 1977;Dunham, 1977;Stadulis, 1971;Thomas, Gallager & Purvis, 1981) in which the performer from an initial stationary position, attempts to predict'the precise time of coincidence of a m?vin.g object with a standard refer~nce:Conse.quently, little IS known concerning the relative difficulties presented to…”

“…Estes resultados evidenciam que crianças de oito e de doze anos de idade mostram diferentes níveis de desenvolvimento no que se refere ao "timing" antecipatório. Estudos de Bard et alii (1981), Dorfman (1977), Dunham (1977), Fleury & Bard (1985) indicaram ser esta fase do desenvolvimento um período de intensas mudanças nesta capacidade.…”
