Abstract
Comparisons between a group of deaf children and normal-hearing controls on an extensive test-battery revealed that the former group was clearly inferior both in general dynamic coordination and visual-motor coordination. An experimental study, focusing on speed of motor performance, confirmed the general impression that deaf children are relatively slow performers. In particular, the execution of movements is slower in deaf children: the processes involved in this difference require further experimental research.Keywords
