Developmental changes in independent bimanual coordination: evidence from the circles–lines coupling task in children aged 5–13 years by Satoshi Nobusako, Satoshi Nobusako, Kenya Hashizoe, Kenya Hashizoe, Akio Nakai

“…Partial correlation analyses, controlling for age, revealed significant associations between BCE/BM-OI and bimanual motor skills, suggesting that the ability to overcome intermanual interference is closely linked to age-appropriate bimanual coordination.DiscussionGiven that asymmetric bimanual control involves not only the fronto-parietal network but also executive functions in the prefrontal cortex and interhemispheric motor communication, the present behavioral findings may reflect multifaceted neural maturation during childhood—specifically, the development of the fronto-parietal network, prefrontal cortex, and transcallosal motor pathways. …”
