Which approach emphasizes information processing and interaction of multiple systems in motor learning for DCD?

• A. Active practice
• B. Visual feedback only
• C. Information processing and interaction of multiple systems
• D. Pharmacological modulation

Answer: (C)

Information processing and interaction of multiple systems treats movement as emerging from how sensory information is perceived, interpreted, planned, and executed, with ongoing coordination among cognitive, perceptual, and motor systems. In DCD, learning to move effectively depends on how well a child can process cues, decide on goals, and integrate visual, proprioceptive, and motor commands to produce coordinated actions. Interventions based on this approach emphasize clear task structure, explicit strategies, and feedback that helps the child interpret sensory information, plan sequences, and adjust performance across varying contexts. This focus distinguishes it from approaches that rely mainly on repeating movements without addressing processing across systems, or on a single type of feedback, or on pharmacological modulation.
