Abstract

This article focuses on the development and psychometric evaluation of two touchscreen tablet-based tests designed to assess predictive motor control—a key indicator of neuromotor development—in children aged 7 to 10 years. The tests, a Rapid Manual Interception (RMI) test and a Pursuit Tracking (PT) test, demonstrated univariate factor structures and high internal consistency, indicating reliable measurement of predictive visuomotor control. Older children outperformed younger ones on both tests, supporting their construct validity, while sex differences were observed only in the RMI test favoring boys. The findings suggest these tablet-based assessments are suitable tools for evaluating predictive motor control in typically developing middle childhood populations, with recommendations for future research to explore their applicability in children with neurodevelopmental disorders.
