Brief Summary
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.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Peabody Developmental Motor Scales
Reflexes, locomotor skills, object control, grasping, and visual-motor integration will be evaluated by this test
One day
Simple Reaction Time Test
Reaction time will be evaluated by this test
One day
Study Arms (2)
Pervasive Developmental Disorders Group
Fifteen children aged between 3 and 6 years who have been diagnosed with pervasive developmental disorders.
Typically Developing Peers Group
Fifteen children aged between 3 and 6 years who have been typically developing peers
Interventions
Motor skills will be assessed using the Peabody Developmental Motor Scales-Second Edition (PDMS-2), a standardized and validated tool measuring gross and fine motor performance. Subtests will be administered face-to-face in an age-appropriate manner and scored according to the manual.
Eligibility Criteria
In this study, the sample will be selected using a purposive sampling method from children aged 3-6 years who meet the predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria.
You may qualify if:
- Being between 3 and 6 years of age
- For typically developing children, having no diagnosis of any neurodevelopmental or orthopedic disorder
- Having a diagnosis of Pervasive Developmental Disorder made by a child psychiatrist or pediatric neurologist
- Absence of visual, auditory, or motor impairments that would prevent administration of the Peabody Developmental Motor Scales-2 (PDMS-2) and the Catch Pad reaction test
- Having sufficient cognitive ability to understand and follow simple instructions during the assessment
You may not qualify if:
- In the typically developing group, having a diagnosis of Attention Deficit -Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or any other neurodevelopmental disorder
- Presence of additional neurological or orthopedic conditions, apart from Pervasive Developmental Disorder, that would interfere with test administration
- Visual or hearing impairments severe enough to prevent test administration
- History of orthopedic trauma or surgery within the last 6 months that could affect motor performance
- Presence of significant behavioral problems
