“…Differences in handwriting between male and female children have been shown in some more recent studies ( Hystegge et al, 2012 ; Lange-Küttner and Ebersbach, 2012 ; Tabatabaey-Mashadi et al, 2015 ). Tabatabaey-Mashadi et al (2015 , p. 25) analyzed strategies of digitizing tablet drawing by 6–7-year-old children, and they reported that when these children draw a rhomboid, compared to boys, “girls pay more attention to details, and they tend to perform the polygon segment by segment rather than drawing it with fewer strokes.” Lange-Küttner and Ebersbach (2012) used a drawing cube task, and they reported that female children focus more on detail while male children focus more on shape. In a study on reading skills of 10-year-old children, Hystegge et al (2012 , p. 123) reported that “boys and girls differ with respect to the correlation between visual processing skills and reading performance” which confirmed the hypothesis based on the male advantage for visual memory skills.…”

“…Studies have also shown differences between male and female children in the development of visual cognition and in the relationships between visual cognition and other processes. Visual processes are associated with reading in male children, but not in female children ( Hystegge et al, 2012 ), and gender differences have also been observed for drawing ( Lange-Küttner and Ebersbach, 2012 ) and handwriting ( Tabatabaey-Mashadi et al, 2015 ). Therefore, we analyzed the data in the present study by considering the age and the gender as relevant factors in the development of handwriting skills.…”

Psychological and Physiological Processes in Figure-Tracing Abilities Measured Using a Tablet Computer: A Study with 7 and 9 Years Old Children

The present study investigated the use of a tablet computer to assess figure-tracing skills and their relationships with psychological (visual–perceptual processes, cognitive processes, handwriting skills) and physiological (body mass index, isometric strength of arms) parameters with school-children of second (7–8-year-olds) and fourth (9–10-year-olds) grades. We were also interested in gender differences. The task required tracing of geometric figures on a template, shown on a tablet screen in light gray, for the segments that make up the target figure, one at a time. This figure-tracing tablet test allows acquisition and automated analysis of four parameters: number of strokes (pen lift) for each segment; oscillations of lines drawn with respect to reference lines; pressure of pen on tablet; and average speed of tracing. The results show a trade-off between speed and quality for the tablet parameters, with higher speed associated with more oscillations with respect to the reference lines, and lower number of strokes for each segment, in both male and female children. The involvement of visual–motor integration on the ability to reduce the oscillations in this tablet test was only seen for the male children, while both the male and female children showed a relationship between oscillations and more general/abstract visual–spatial processes. These data confirm the role of visual–motor processes in this figure-tracing tablet test only for male children, while more general visual–spatial processes influence the performance in the tablet test for both sexes. We conclude that the test proposed is useful to screen for grapho-motor difficulties.

“…It has been proposed that an important feature of hypervigilance is increased attending to somatosensory input at pain-relevant body locations ( Van Damme et al, 2016 ). This idea has been extensively investigated in a series of studies in healthy volunteers indicating that experimentally induced threat of pain on one specific location of the body resulted in increased attending to somatosensory stimuli at that body location relative to other areas ( Crombez et al, 1998 ; Durnez & Damme, 2015 ; Vanden Bulcke et al, 2013 ; Vanden Bulcke et al, 2014 ; Vanden Bulcke et al, 2015 ; Van Hulle et al, 2015 ; but see Durnez & Van Damme, 2016 , for a failed replication). Applied to unilateral TMD pain, one would expect enhanced attending to somatosensory information specifically at the painful side of the jaw.…”

BackgroundPatients with chronic orofacial pain due to temporomandibular disorders (TMD) display alterations in somatosensory processing at the jaw, such as amplified perception of tactile stimuli, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study investigated one possible explanation, namely hypervigilance, and tested if TMD patients with unilateral pain showed increased attending to somatosensory input at the painful side of the jaw.MethodsTMD patients with chronic unilateral orofacial pain (n = 20) and matched healthy volunteers (n = 20) performed a temporal order judgment (TOJ) task indicated which one of two tactile stimuli, presented on each side of the jaw, they had perceived first. TOJ methodology allows examining spatial bias in somatosensory processing speed. Furthermore, after each block of trials, the participants rated the perceived intensity of tactile stimuli separately for both sides of the jaw. Finally, questionnaires assessing pain catastrophizing, fear-avoidance beliefs, and pain vigilance, were completed.ResultsTMD patients tended to perceive tactile stimuli at the painful jaw side as occurring earlier in time than stimuli at the non-painful side but this effect did not reach conventional levels of significance (p = .07). In the control group, tactile stimuli were perceived as occurring simultaneously. Secondary analyses indicated that the magnitude of spatial bias in the TMD group is positively associated with the extent of fear-avoidance beliefs. Overall, intensity ratings of tactile stimuli were significantly higher in the TMD group than in the control group, but there was no significant difference between the painful and non-painful jaw side in the TMD patients.DiscussionThe hypothesis that TMD patients with chronic unilateral orofacial pain preferentially attend to somatosensory information at the painful side of the jaw was not statistically supported, although lack of power could not be ruled out as a reason for this. The findings are discussed within recent theories of pain-related attention.

BACKGROUND: Little is known about factors contributing to physical activity (PA) in American Indian (AI) populations. Addressing this gap is paramount as sedentary activity and obesity continue to increase in this population. The purpose of this study was to determine factors associated with PA among AI families with young children. METHODS: Adult (n=423) and child (n=390) height and weight were measured, and surveys assessed demographics, PA, stress (adult only), sleep, and screen time. Separate multivariate logistic regression models were constructed for adults and children (reported as adjusted odds ratios, aORs). RESULTS: For adults, age (aOR=0.952; p≤0.0001), TV viewing (aOR=0.997; p=0.01), and computer use (aOR=0.996; p=0.003) decreased odds of being active. For children, high adult activity (aOR=1.795; p≤0.01), longer weekday sleep (aOR=1.004; p=0.01), and family income >$35,000 (aOR=2.772; p=0.006) increased odds of being active. We found no association between adult PA with stress or adult sleep or between child PA with BMI and screen time. CONCLUSIONS: Given the complexity of the factors contributing to obesity among AI families, multigenerational interventions focused on healthy lifestyle change such as decreasing adult screen time and increasing child sleep time may be needed to increase PA within AI families.
