目前的研究评估了运动技能较差的儿童的全面执行功能（EF），比较了被诊断为发育协调障碍（DCD）的儿童和被诊断为运动困难（MD）的儿童的概况。两组儿童在工作记忆、抑制、计划和流畅性等非语言测量方面的表现都比通常的对照表现要差，但在转换测试方面则不然。 MD 和 DCD 儿童的相似优势和劣势模式对家长、教师和临床医生具有重要意义，因为即使未发现运动困难，MD 儿童也可能难以完成 EF 任务。
The current study assessed a comprehensive range of executive functions (EFs) in children with poor motor skills, comparing profiles of children with a diagnosis of developmental coordination disorder (DCD) and those identified with motor difficulties (MD). Children in both groups performed more poorly than typically developing controls on nonverbal measures of working memory, inhibition, planning, and fluency, but not on tests of switching. The similar patterns of strengths and weaknesses in children with MD and DCD have important implications for parents, teachers, and clinicians, as children with MD may struggle with EF tasks even though their motor difficulties are not identified.
