Abstract
Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by deficits in acquiring and executing motor skills (DSM-V; American Psychiatric Association, 2013). DCD is prevalent among 5-6% of school-aged children often manifested as clumsiness, slowness, and can impact personal, social, academic, and occupational functioning (APA, 2013; Zwicker et al., 2012). Diagnosis entails a complex of developmental and medical history, physical examination, school or workplace report, and often the Movement Assessment Battery for Children (MABC-2). The etiology of DCD remains unclear, however previous studies using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) and Electroencephalogram (EEG) have revealed different cortical activation patterns between DCD children and Typically Developed (TD) children (Brown-Lum and Zwicker 2015; Wilson et. al 2017). Children with DCD often have difficulty performing novel tasks and appear to use more executive control during tasks to maintain performance or adapt to new movements (Caçola, P. et al). Previous studies have explored the Prefrontal Cortex (PFC) due to its functional relationship with working memory, decision making, and executive control.
