Development of an innovative approach to the assessment of eye-hand coordination in a dual-task context in prepubertal children.

The purposes of this study were to examine both the validity and reliability of an eye-hand coordination (EHC) test in a dual-task paradigm in prepubertal children and the capacity of this test to discriminate between sex and age. A total of 440 children aged 6 and 11 years participated in this study. To assess EHC, a ball throwing and wall catching test was used in three different conditions (non-interference, auditory, and visual).
