Resumo
Objetivo: A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar as habilidades de sincronização sensório-motora de crianças em idade escolar avaliadas por meio de tarefas de Finger Tapping (FT: tocar com os dedos), com estímulo musical e metrônomo, bem como relações do FT com aspectos internalizantes/externalizantes e do perfil sensorial (sensorial/comportamento). Métodos: A amostra foi composta por 305 crianças de 6 a 11 anos com desenvolvimento típico. Foram realizadas duas análises para investigar os seguintes efeitos no desempenho de FT com música e metrônomo: 1) efeito de idade e sexo na acurácia e na variabilidade do FT com tempo regular rápido (Intervalo entre estímulos= 333 ms) e lento (1000 ms); 2) efeitos de idade, sexo, comportamentos internalizantes e externalizantes obtidos por meio do Child Behavioral Checklist e problemas sensoriais e comportamentais do Short Sensory Profile 2 no FT em tempos regulares rápido e lento, com mudança rápido/lento e lento/rápido, tendo música e metrônomo como dois fatores separados utilizando modelagens de equação estrutural. Resultados: Na primeira análise, encontramos uma melhora no desempenho (menor variabilidade, mas não na acurácia) com o aumento da idade, principalmente entre 6 e 9 anos, independentemente do tipo de estímulo e do tempo. O desempenho na música e no metrônomo mostrou diferenças na acurácia e na variabilidade do FT, independente da idade e sexo. A análise dois confirmou a melhora do FT com o aumento da idade (menor variabilidade) nos fatores música e metrônomo. A variabilidade foi mais sensível para captar os efeitos do desenvolvimento do FT em ambas as análises, enquanto a acurácia foi mais sensível para captar os aspectos comportamentais do FT na análise dois. Maiores escores em comportamentos internalizantes foram associados a uma menor acurácia no FT, mas um número maior de comportamentos externalizantes foi associado a uma maior acurácia do FT em ambos os fatores, música e metrônomo. A variabilidade do FT não foi associada a comportamentos internalizantes ou externalizantes. O perfil sensorial não foi associado a nenhum desempenho de FT. Sexo não teve efeitos significantes no FT em ambas as análises. Conclusões: A variabilidade do FT em crianças com desenvolvimento típico diminui a partir dos seis anos de idade, independente do tipo de estímulo e do sexo. Comportamentos internalizantes estão negativamente associados à acurácia do FT, enquanto comportamentos externalizantes estão positivamente associados à acurácia do FT, independente do tipo e tempo do estímulo, idade e sexo. Não houve associação entre as medidas do perfil sensorial e o desempenho no FT. Os fatores música e metrônomo são correlacionados, mas contribuem de forma independente e complementar na explicação da acurácia e da variabilidade no desempenho do finger tapping.
Objective: The present research aimed to analyze the sensorimotor synchronization abilities of school-aged children assessed through finger tapping (FT) tasks to music and metronome stimuli, as well as relationships between FT performance with internalizing/externalizing behaviors and sensory profile (sensory/behavior). Methods: The sample consisted of 305 typically developing children aged 6 to 11 years old. Two analyses were performed, in which we investigated the following effects on FT to music and metronome: 1) effects of age and sex on FT’s accuracy and variability in regular fast (Inter Stimulus Interval= 333 ms) and slow tempi (1000 ms); 2) effects of age, sex, internalizing and externalizing behaviors obtained from the Child Behavior Checklist and sensory and behavior problems from the Short Sensory Profile 2 on regular (fast and slow) and tempo change (fast/slow; slow/fast) FT tasks with music and metronome stimuli as two separate factors using structural equation modeling. Results: For the first analysis, overall we found an improvement in FT performance (lower variability, but not accuracy) with increasing age, particularly between 6 and 9 years, irrespective of stimulus type and tempo. Performance for music and metronome stimuli showed differences in the FT accuracy and variability, irrespective of age and sex. Analysis two confirmed the improvement of FT with increasing age (lower variability) on both metronome and music factors. Variability was more sensitive to capture FT developmental effects in both analyses, whereas accuracy was more sensitive for capturing behavioral aspects of FT in analysis two. Higher internalizing behaviors were associated with lower FT accuracy, but higher externalizing behaviors were associated with higher FT accuracy for both music and metronome factors. FT variability was not associated with internalizing or externalizing behaviors. Sensory profile was not associated with any FT measures. Sex had negligible effects on FT in both analyses. Conclusions: Finger tapping variability in typically developing children decreases from the age of six years, irrespective of stimulus type and sex. Internalizing behaviors are negatively associated with FT accuracy, while externalizing behaviors are positively associated with accuracy, irrespective of stimuli type and tempo, age and sex. Sensory profile measures were not associated with FT performance. Music and metronome factors were significantly correlated, but made independent and complementary contributions in explaining accuracy and variability in finger tapping performance.
