Description

This study examined the Pinboard Test, a tool that is used to measure developmental coordination disorder (DCD) using a target and a pointing task. The task requires subjects to locate target pins visually (see target), with the hand (feel target), or both (feel and see target), and then reach round with one hand and point at the target location from the rear of the board. The Pinboard test was applied to 67 undergraduates (adult subjects) and 35 gradeschoolers (children). When the subjects located the target with their hand only, their performance was inferior to that under the other two conditions, in both adults and children, especially when the non-preferred hand was used to point at the target. We argue that the integration of visual and kinesthetic perceptual information in the brain is important for understanding the mechanisms of DCD.
