Tracking performance was investigated in normal and clumsy children in two age-groups, six to seven and 10 to 11 years. Target signals moving unpredictably along a straight line had to be tracked, both with and without visual feedback. Performance was described in three ways: (1) performance in the low-frequency range (LF); (2) the delay between target signal and tracking movement (DL); and (3) a measure of tracking quality or over-all similarity in the shape of target signal and tracking movement (Q). Clumsy children in both age-groups had a lower tracking quality (Q) and longer delay (DL) than the normal children. Disturbances in the regulation of attention seemed to affect tracking performance, particularly of the six- to seven-year-old clumsy children. There was no significant difference between normal and clumsy children in the effect of visual feedback on tracking performance. This suggests that clumsiness is not linked to disturbance of integration of visual feedback information and motor processes.
