Direct linkPlumb, Mandy S.; Charity, Megan; Milla, Kimberly; Bodt, Barry; Getchell, Nancy – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2023
Background: Previous research suggests that children with or at risk of probable developmental coordination disorder (pDCD) activate different areas of the brain when performing certain motor skills compared with typically developing (TD) children. This study used functional near-infrared spectroscopy to compare prefrontal cortex (PFC) activity in…

Schott, Nadja; Getchell, Nancy – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2021
Background: Children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) frequently have difficulties performing gross motor skills such as the overarm throw. Our study examines the differences in both qualitative and quantitative characteristics of overarm throwing for accuracy between typically developing (TD) and children with DCD. Methods: A total…

Logan, S. Wood; Getchell, Nancy – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2010
The purpose of this study was twofold. First, the authors wanted to examine the associations of motor proficiency and body composition in children with and without dyslexia. They hypothesized there would be a negative relationship between body composition (measured by body mass index [BMI]) and motor proficiency (measured by MABC [Movement…

Getchell, Nancy; Mackenzie, Samuel J.; Marmon, Adam R. – Adapted Physical Activity Quarterly, 2010
This study examined the effect of short-term auditory pacing practice on dual motor task performance in children with and without dyslexia. Groups included dyslexic with Movement Assessment Battery for Children (MABC) scores greater than 15th percentile (D_HIGH, n = 18; mean age 9.89 [plus or minus] 2.0 years), dyslexic with MABC [less than or…

Getchell, Nancy; Pabreja, Priya – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2006
In this article, the authors discuss and examine how to develop time sharing using a dual motor task and its effects. They state that when one is required to perform two tasks at the same time (time sharing), an individual may experience difficulty in expressing one or both of the tasks. This phenomenon, known as interference, has been studied…
