孩子们在学校的大部分时间都在从事需要手工灵巧的任务。如果孩子们在手工灵巧技能方面遇到困难，可能会对他们的学业成绩产生影响。本文的第一个目的是探讨是否在线交互式打字干预可以提高儿童的分数标准化措施的手灵巧。第二个目的是实施一个系列反应时敲击任务作为儿童手指运动学习的指标，并观察干预后儿童在该任务上的表现是否会有所改善。78名年龄在8至10岁之间的发育正常的儿童在他们的学校接受了干预前儿童运动评估组合（第2版; MABC-2）和敲击任务的测试。其中28名儿童自愿被随机分配到干预组或对照组。干预组的孩子可以选择两个在线游戏在家里玩四周，而对照组的孩子没有玩这些游戏。干预组和对照组，然后重新测试MABC-2手动灵巧性和轻敲任务。与对照组相比，干预组的儿童在MABC-2中的手动灵活性得分显着提高。平均而言，所有儿童都学会了敲击序列，然而，没有组间差异，也没有干预对敲击任务的影响。这些结果对实施免费提供，易于管理，有趣和互动的干预，以帮助儿童提高他们的手灵巧技能具有重要意义。
Children spend a large proportion of their school day engaged in tasks that require manual dexterity. If children experience difficulties with their manual dexterity skills it can have a consequential effect on their academic achievement. The first aim of this paper was to explore whether an online interactive typing intervention could improve children’s scores on a standardised measure of manual dexterity. The second aim was to implement a serial reaction time tapping task as an index of children's finger movement learning, and to see whether performance on this task would improve after the intervention. Seventy-eight typically developing children aged between 8 and 10 were tested at their school on the pre-intervention Movement Assessment Battery for Children (2nd edition; MABC-2) and tapping tasks. Twenty-eight of these children volunteered to be randomly allocated to the intervention or control group. Children in the intervention group had a choice of two online games to play at home over a period of four weeks, while the children in the control group were not given these games to play. The intervention and control groups were then re-tested on the MABC-2 manual dexterity and the tapping task. Children in the intervention group significantly improved their manual dexterity scores in the MABC-2 compared to the control group. On average, all children learnt the tapping sequence, however, there were no group differences and no effect of the intervention on the tapping task. These results have important implications for implementing a freely available, easy to administer, fun and interactive intervention to help children improve their manual dexterity skills.
