Cognitive Motor Coordination Training Improves Mental Rotation Performance in Primary School-Aged Children
Pietsch, Stefanie; Böttcher, Caroline; Jansen, Petra
Mind, Brain, and Education, v11 n4 p176-180 Dec 2017
The long-term physical activity in specific sport activities can change the quality of mental rotation performance. This study investigates the influence of "Life Kinetik"--a motion program with tasks of cognition and motor coordination--on mental rotation performance of 44 primary school-aged children. While the experimental group received Life Kinetik lessons twice a week for 5 weeks, the control group took part in regular physical education classes for the same period of time. Both groups performed a mental rotation task before and after the intervention. The experimental group showed a significant increase in mental rotation ability than the control group.
