简要总结
The game Marble Maze Classic® will be used, in which the participants have to move the mobile phone to conduct a virtual marble through a maze design. The investigators will evaluate 100 individuals (50 with Down Syndrome-DS and 50 with typical development-TD) and divide both with DS and TD into group 1 and 2, where each group consists of 25 participants, with group 2 using a maze design totally opposite to group 1.
详细描述
The game Marble Maze Classic® will be used, in which the participants have to move the mobile phone to conduct a virtual marble through a maze design. The investigators will evaluate 100 individuals (50 with Down Syndrome-DS and 50 with typical development-TD) and divide both with DS and TD into group 1 and 2, where each group consists of 25 participants, with group 2 using a maze design totally opposite to group 1.
Participants from both SD and TD will be divided into two subgroups: Group 1 (n = 50, consisting of 25 participants in TD and 25 participants in SD) and Group 2 (n = 50, consisting 25 participants in TD and 25 participants in SD), with the design of the maze for group 2 totally opposite to that of group 1 in all stages of the experiment. The use of opposite mazes is necessary to verify that the sequence of movements of the maze path does not influence performance.
To maintain the characteristics of random sampling, where each participant has an equal chance to participate in the groups, The investigators used simple probabilistic random sampling, by conducting the drawing on paper.
PROCEDURES
Individuals will be positioned comfortably in a chair set according to the size necessary, as well as a footrest, so as to stay properly positioned to enable the execution of the task.
