The Relationship Between Reaction Time and Motor Skills in Children With Pervasive Developmental Disorders

This study examines whether the relationship between reaction time and motor skills differs between children aged 3-6 with pervasive developmental disorders and typically developing peers. It aims to determine the direction and strength of this relationship in children with developmental disorders and compare it with that of typically developing children, thereby providing evidence on how cognitive processing speed and motor performance interact in early childhood under developmental disorder conditions.
