To determine the relationship of perceptual-motor skills and ability to conserve to school readiness, 94 Ss in kindergarten and first grade were administered the Purdue Perceptual-motor Survey, the Metropolitan Readiness Test, and six Piaget tasks to measure logical thinking. Scores on the Purdue scale and Piaget tasks were not correlated; however, both sets of scores were moderately correlated with school readiness as measured by the Metropolitan test.

This is quantitative research with a correlational study method, with the research title Relationship of Fine Motor Ability as an independent variable and Continuous Writing Skills as a dependent variable. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between fine motor skills and the ability to write upright to be connected to the sub-themes of harmonious living at home. The subjects of this study were classes IIA, IIB, IIE, and IIF Papandayan State Elementary School, Bogor Tengah District, Bogor City, Odd Semester of the 2019/2020 Academic Year totaling 104 with a sample of 51 respondents. The data of this study were obtained using the Guttman scale questionnaire using definite choices such as yes or no for fine motor ability variables and using writing test assessments for the variable continuous writing skills. The results showed that there was a positive and significant relationship between fine motor skills and vertical straight writing skills. This is based on statistical analysis which results in a correlation coefficient (rxy) of 0.714 and in the pattern of the problem becomes Ŷ = 39.42 + (0.476x) which means the level of relationship is relatively strong and a tcount of 7.14 is greater than the table with a real level of significance 0.05 of 2,404 and the table with a real level of 0.01 of 1,676 which means significant. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that there is a strong, positive and significant relationship between the relationship of fine motor skills with continuous writing skillsKeywords: Fine Motor; Writing Skills Upright.Abstrak Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kuantitatif dengan metode studi korelasional, dengan judul penelitian Hubungan Kemampuan Motorik Halus sebagai variabel bebas dan Keterampilan Menulis Tegak Bersambung sebagai variabel terikat. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui hubungan kemampuan motorik halus dengan keterampilan menulis tegak bersambung pada sub tema hidup rukun di rumah. Subjek penelitian ini adalah kelas IIA, IIB, IIE, dan IIF Sekolah Dasar Negeri Papandayan Kecamatan Bogor Tengah Kota Bogor Semester Ganjil Tahun Pelajaran 2019/2020 berjumlah 104 dengan sampel sebanyak 51 responden. Data penelitian ini diperoleh dengan menggunakan kuisioner skala Guttman menggunakan pilihan yang pasti seperti ya atau tidak untuk variabel kemampuan motorik halus dan menggunakan penilaian tes menulis untuk variabel keterampilan menulis tegak bersambung. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan positif dan signifikan antara kemampuan motorik halus dengan keterampilan menulis tegak bersambung. Hal ini berdasarkan analisis statistik yang menghasilkan koefisien korelasi (rxy) sebesar 0,714 dan dalam pola permasalahannya menjadi Ŷ = 39,42 + (0,476x) yang berarti tingkat hubungan tergolong kuat dan diperoleh thitung sebesar 7,14 lebih besar dari ttabel dengan taraf nyata nyata 0,05 sebesar 2,404 dan ttabel dengan taraf nyata 0,01 sebesar 1,676 yang berarti signifikan. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian tersebut, dapat disimpulkan bahwa terdapat hubungan yang kuat, positif dan signifikan antara hubungan kemampuan motorik halus dengan keterampilan menulis tegak bersambung.Kata Kunci: Motorik Halus; Menulis Tegak Bersambung.

Different elements of physical fitness in children have shown a declining trend during the past few decades. Cardiorespiratory fitness and motor skills have been associated with cognition, but the magnitude of this association remains unknown. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the relationship of cardiorespiratory fitness and motor skills with cognitive functions and academic performance in children up to 13 years of age. Cross-sectional studies suggest that children with higher cardiorespiratory fitness have more efficient cognitive processing at the neuroelectric level, as well as larger hippocampal and basal ganglia volumes, compared to children with lower cardiorespiratory fitness. Higher cardiorespiratory fitness has been associated with better inhibitory control in tasks requiring rigorous attention allocation. Better motor skills have been related to more efficient cognitive functions including inhibitory control and working memory. Higher cardiorespiratory fitness and better motor skills have also been associated with better academic performance. Furthermore, none of the studies on cardiorespiratory fitness have revealed independent associations with cognitive functions by controlling for motor skills. Studies concerning the relationship between motor skills and cognitive functions also did not consider cardiorespiratory fitness in the analyses. The results of this review suggest that high levels of cardiorespiratory fitness and motor skills may be beneficial for cognitive development and academic performance but the evidence relies mainly on cross-sectional studies.

Second and third grade pupils ( ns = 23, 27, 24, 26) of superior intelligence were dichotomized into subgroups on the basis of visual-motor development as measured by the Bender-Gestalt. Bender and WISC scores were significantly correlated with reading at the second grade level but not at the third grade. The relationship of reading to visual-motor development and the learning of other skills to read for this type of pupil is suggested.

This study aims to test the effect size of motor skills on the performance of a person in the field of sports. The type of research used is meta-analysis Studyes. The data sources in this study are google scholar, Jurnal SINTA, Scopus, and Eric. The livelihood of literature from various sources uses the keywords motor skills and performance. Data analysis is conducted through the stages of variable identification, identification of r values, transforming the r value into the z distribution which is the size effect of each study, calculating variance, calculating the Error Standard of z, and calculating the summary effect.  Summary effect calculation using Jeffreys's Amazing Statistics Program (JASP) software. The results showed that there was a significant positive correlation between motor skills and performace. The relationship of motor skills to performance falls into the moderate category with a random effect correlation value of 0.498.
