Kinesthetic neuropsychological factor difficulties predict possible problems in writing acquisition. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2016, vol.15, n.spe5, pp.1-15.

In this study, we evaluated a group of boys and girls, from first to third grade of primary school, with difficulties in writing acquisition in comparison with a control group. The results obtained by using the "Evaluación Neuropsicológica infantil 'Puebla-Sevilla'" show significant differences between the experimental and the control group in the Kinetic, Kinesthesic and the Global Spatial Perception neuropsychological factors. Similar results were also obtained in the writing tasks that are part of the "Evaluación Neuropsicológica Infantil (ENI)". We also qualitatively typified the errors in the writing tasks. Correlational statistical analysis of the experimental and control groups show that the Kinesthesic factor can predict possible difficulties in the correct acquisition of the writing, and also, that the dictation task of the ENI can be valid for the recognition of difficulties in that factor.

Keywords : kinesthesic analysis; reading-writing process; neuropsychology.
