The problem
Intervention: Computerized tablet-based visuomotor skill training tasks (unimanual and bimanual versions) with three testing sessions: initial practice, 24-hour retention, and 7-day retention
Who it was tested with: 55 children aged 5-8 years corrected age, including 14 born preterm and 41 born at term.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"Unimanual and bimanual de novo visuomotor learning tasks were implemented on a computerized tablet (Apple iPad). Fifty-five participants (N = 14 preterm), corrected age 5-8 years, completed three testing sessions: initial practice (72 practice attempts), 24-h retention (24 practice attempts), and 7-day retention (24 practice attempts)." The study measures learning through comparison of performance at initial practice versus retention tests, but lacks a true intervention or control group structure, making it observational rather than experimental.
Cross-sectional design with no comparison group receiving different interventions; small preterm sample; no information on severity of prematurity, socioeconomic factors, or other developmental comorbidities; biological age showed only small relationship with performance, limiting age-based predictions
