Abstract
Methods of determining gross motor rhythmic ability were studied in subjects (N=44) 5 yr of age. Using a rhythmic ability analysis system subjects performed 8 trials in each of 3 stimulus modalities, audio, visual, and audio-visual. The time-space response characteristics were also observed as a function of sex and the externally paced or self-paced rate of stimulus cue. MANOVA revealed significantly better performances with the audio stimuli; no differences based on sex or the source of response rate were found. There was statistical evidence indicating that absolute error was the best scoring technique for dependent variables when using the rhythmic system.
