Thinking inside the box: Spatial frames of reference for drawing in Williams syndrome and typical development
2017, Research in Developmental DisabilitiesFacilitating complex shape drawing in Williams syndrome and typical development
2013, Research in Developmental DisabilitiesCitation Excerpt :In this condition, participants were subject to reduced planning demands as starting and cessation points were provided and participants only has to determine a change in angle once. Provision of half a shape to guide drawing has previously been investigated in constructional apraxia (CAp; Smith & Gilchrist, 2005b), which is an acquired deficit in localising elements of visual space, and in TD children (Broderick & Laszlo, 1988). In both of these groups drawing of squares with and without a pre-drawn half of the square educed no significant differences in the angular deviation of drawn lines.
Developmental differences in drawing performance of the dominant and non-dominant hand in right-handed boys and girls
2006, Human Movement ScienceCitation Excerpt :As we did not measure reaction or initiation time we cannot rule out that the latter might have shown an effect on preparatory processes initiated before the drawing movements were started as was observed in a previous study (Van Mier et al., 1994). None of our tasks or manipulations showed differences between girls and boys, consistent with findings in previous fine motor tasks (Blank et al., 1999, 2000; Broderick & Laszlo, 1987, 1988; Weil & Amundsons, 1994). Manual asymmetries between gender reported by others (Annett & Kilshaw, 1983; Carlier et al., 1993; Carlier, Duyme, Capron, Dumont, & Perez-Diaz, 1993; Nalcaci et al., 2001; Pedersen et al., 2003; Von Hofsten & Rösblad, 1988) were not replicated in our study, rather, our findings are in line with results from Gabbard et al. (1993).
