“…This performance pattern is consistent with earlier developmental work using the hand rotation task (Butson et al, 2014;Caeyenberghs et al, 2009;Toussaint et al, 2013), demonstrating that MI shows a critical period of development after 7 years of age, where imagery performance has been shown to improve considerably with further incremental improvements observed into adolescence and adulthood (Conson, Mazzarella, & Trojano, 2014). Based on the assumption that performance Fig.…”

“…The developmental trajectory of RT showed that response latency to stimuli decreased with age, which is consistent with the documented developmental progression of MI (Caeyenberghs et al, 2009;Toussaint, Tahej, Thibaut, Possamai, & Badets, 2013). Results revealed significant differences between each of the age groups, with the strongest decrease in RT between 6-and 7-year-olds and 8-to 12-year-olds.…”

“…From that age, performance was similar to that of adults. In line with our results, most studies using the HLJ paradigm also reported increased motor involvement with age (1,20,21,39). The study by Caeyenberghs et al (21) compared the performance in MI through the HLJ task of 7 and 8 year old, 9 and 10 years old, and 11 and 12 years old.…”

Motor Imagery Development in Children: Changes in Speed and Accuracy With Increasing Age

Although motor imagery has been pointed as a promising strategy for the rehabilitation of children with neurological disorders, information on their development throughout childhood and adolescence is still scarce. For instance, it is still unclear at what age they reach a development comparable to the motor imagery performance observed in adults. Herein we used a mental rotation task to assess motor imagery in 164 typically developing children and adolescents, which were divided into four age groups (6-7, 8-9, 10-11, and 12-13 years) and 30 adults. The effects of biomechanical constraints, accuracy, and reaction time of the mental rotation task were considered. ANOVA showed that all groups had the effect of biomechanical restrictions of the mental rotation task. We found a group effect for accuracy [F (4, 180) = 17,560; p < 0.00; η² = 3.79] and reaction time [F (4, 180) = 17.5; p < 0.001, η² = 0.615], with the results of children groups 6-7 and 8-9 years being significantly lower than the other groups (p < 0.05). In all the analyses, there were no differences regarding accuracy and reaction time among the participants of the age groups 10-11 and 12-13 years and adults (p > 0.05). Concluding, children aged 6-7 years were able to perform motor imagery, motor imagery ability improved as the participants' ages increased, and children aged 10 and over-performed similarly to adults.

“…Assim, devido às dificuldades das crianças nas tarefas de imagem mental, sugere-se que elas apresentem dificuldades em gerar e monitorar uma representação mental de ações intencionadas (GABBARD e BOBBIO, 2010). Para analisar os fatores relativos ao desenvolvimento do planejamento da ação, abordam-se as explicações propostas no paradigma do efeito do estado de 45 conforto ao final, que considera que, para se atingir com sucesso a meta pretendida na tarefa, é necessário que o sujeito planeje antecipadamente a sua ação (ROSENBAUM et al, 1990).No estudo de Toussaint et al (2013) os autores compararam a ligação entre o planejamento da ação, por meio de uma tarefa de apreensão e transporte de uma barra, com a imagem mental, em uma tarefa de rotação mental da mão e de um número, de crianças entre 6 e 8 anos de idade.

Desempenho de adultos, crianças com desenvolvimento típico e crianças com transtorno do desenvolvimento da coordenação em uma tarefa de planejamento da ação

The literature shows that adults plan in advance how to grip an object according to the goal, prioritizing the End-State-Comfort of the action (ESC), even if, to this end, they have to assume a biomechanically awkward posture during the beginning of the movement. This comfort state may be most pronounced in the face of higher precision demand. However, little is known about the development of this skill, particularly considering the characteristics of children with motor problems. To verify these questions, two studies were conducted. The first study aimed to investigate if precision demand affects the manipulative action planning of adults. Forty-six graduate students (22,0 ± 4,34 years-old) participated in a task of grabbing a wooden bar, transport it and insert it in one of two laterals targets. The precision demand was manipulated with the bar extremity and the holes of the targets (cylindrical or semi cylindrical). The percentage of ESC, the reaction time (TR), reaching time (TALC), insertion time (TENC) and the movement time (TM) were analyzed. The ESC was confirmed in both task conditions, and thus, the precision hypothesis wasn't accepted. No difference in the TR was observed, but TM was lower in the comfortable actions when compared to those uncomfortable. Higher TR and TM were observed in the conditions of higher precision demand, showing that it was necessary more time for analysis during decision making. The objective of the second study was to investigate if children with typical development (DT) and with Developmental Coordination Disorder (TDC) plan a manipulative task on two different conditions of precision demand. Sixty-three children with DT and 32 children with TDC, divided in 5-6 years-old, 7-8 years-old and 9-10 years-old groups, participated in this study. The children performed the same task of the first study. The ESC was again confirmed in the three groups of children with DT, but only in the 7-8 years-old group in children with TDC. The precision hypothesis was confirmed only in the group of younger children with DT. Children with TDC had all time scores higher than DT children, but there was no difference between the groups in planning time (TR). The ESC was evident in the DT groups in conditions of higher precision demand. Thus, children with TDC planned the action less frequently and seem to have been more cautions in movement execution, even when asked to "perform as soon as possible". Similarly, the three groups used strategies to solve the problem of the task, but only children with TDC improved the capacity of planning with practice, as seen by a decrease of the errors and an increase in the percentage of comfort in the final trial blocks. In the two studies, it was observed that, in addition to the anticipatory action planning, similar strategies were used by adults and children to solve the problem, discussed from the idea of on line planning and partially planned behavior.
