The Effects of Direct and Implicit Non-contingent Rewards on Children's Performance of a Fine Motor Skills Task

The effects of non-contingent rewards administered both directly and implicitly for a fine motor skills task were investigated under a time-series design. Data were collected from all members of a typical class, with the teacher acting as experimenter to enhance generalizability. Results indicated that non-contingent rewards possessed neutral consequential effects, thus challenging data from some previous studies which have methodological limitations. The ineffectiveness of non-contingent rewards as reinforcers is discussed, with several suggestions made for future research to investigate the issue of previous reward history and its effect upon the non-contingent reward condition.

Hasil penelitian diperoleh mean level baseline 1 (A-1) sebesar 50,97%, mean level intervensi (B) sebesar 71,8% dan mean level baseline 2 (A-2) sebesar 85,29%. Hasil penelitian ini menyatakan bahwa melalui aktivitas kolase dapat meningkatkan kemampuan motorik halus pada siswa cerebral palsy tipe spastik (MBY), terbukti dari kenaikan mean level pada setiap sesi. Hasil penelitian ini sekiranya dapat dijadikan bahan pertimbangan bagi pendidik dalam pemilihan aktivitas pembelajaran pada anak cerebral palsy. Difficulties arising from the child's spastic cerebral palsy type is a person who has difficulty in using his muscles to move that affects muscle spasm. The impact of spasticity or stiffness experienced by children of cerebral palsy type is an obstacle in performing activities related to muscle ability. To develop fine motor abilities in students, the type of cerebral palsy spastic technology or the proper learning activities for fine motor skills that can be developed. This study was conducted to determine whether the collage process can improve fine motor skills in grade VII cerebral palsy spastic students at SMPLB-D YPAC Bandung. The research method used is Single Subject Research (SSR) with A-B-A research design. Data processing techniques through tests and data analysis techniques using percentages, with indicators that can be used in various positions, able to load and finish pants, and able to lift and remove clothes. The result of the research obtained average level of baseline 1 (A-1) equal to 50,97%, mean intervention level (B) equal to 71,8% and mean level of baseline 2 (A-2) equal to 85,29%. The results of this study suggest that through the collage stage can improve fine motor skills in students of cerebral palsy spastic type (MBY), as evidenced by the increase in the average rate in each session.

Gross Motor Skills

The first five years of a children’s age is the period of rapid growth with physical and motor development. Those process will develop well if stimulated continuously. Early childhood always identic with high activity requires the opportunity to express their abilities. Therefore playing method is very urgent inchildren’s gross motor skills and fine motor skills development through a variety of playing activities both indoors and outdoors. Playing is an activity that cannot be separated from early childhood’s world. All playing activities will be carried out happily. By the same token learning by playing will be done happily without any sense of being forced or oppressed.

Abstract Background/Aims There is currently no consensus regarding sex-related differences in pain intensity and functional abilities among patients with hand osteoarthritis (OA). In this study we determine sex-related differences in pain intensity and functional ability among patients with hand OA, as assessed by a self-report questionnaire and by performance-based tests. Methods Using the AUSCAN tool for symptom and functional assessment of hand OA with dynamometry we prospectively accessed patients meeting the ACR criteria for hand osteoarthritis. Using this analysis, assessments of pain and function were compared in male and female patients. The outcome measures included self-reported pain measures, functional assessment and dynamometry measures. Results The study population included 106 patients (90 females and 16 males) with a mean age of males 48.44 (7.48) and females 52.67 (9.43). All patients with symptomatic hand osteoarthritis meeting ACR Criteria. When accessing difference between sexes, men were found to be significantly heavier (p = 0.003) and have greater grip and pinch strength.As part of function and pain assessments there was a significant correlation between difficulty with fine motor skills such as difficulty doing buttons, difficulty when doing jewellery, or peeling vegetables associated with pain when turning objects e.g. doorknobs, taps and faucets for men in comparison to women. Difficulty in these fine motor skills also correlated with stiffness on wakening and pain on lifting heavy objects regardless of sex. A Mann-Whitney U test was run on 106 participants to determine if there were differences in pain or functional scores between males and females. This reviled Median score for males () and females () was statistically significantly different,There were sex differences noted in the correlation associated with pain with rotational movements e.g. turning objects and functional difficulty with fine motor movements including difficulty when doing up buttons ( Males r(14) = -0.109, p = 0.698, Females r(88) =0.489, p = <0.01 value.= ), difficulty when doing jewellery ( Males r(14) =-0.265, p = 0.339.= Females r(88) = 0.570, p = <0.01) , difficulty peeling vegetables ( Males r(14) = -0.207, p = 0.458 Females r(88) = 0.519, <0.01 ) Conclusion The results demonstrate the presence of sex differences in patients suffering from hand osteoarthritis self-reported functional ability and pain scales. These differences indicate the need for further studies to explore the mechanisms of hand OA and to understanding the specific impact of gender on the development and progression of disease. With further understanding we can obtain the proper strategy to provide better individualised treatment. It also highlights that rehabilitation programs should consider these differences and each patients’ performance limitations in order to address the specific needs of each individual patient. In doing so, improved pain and functional status will improve morbidity in hand OA Disclosure B. Dinneen: None. D. Heath: None. M. Ghaffar: None. M. O'Sullivan: None. C. Silke: None. B.
