Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
It is expected that there will be a difference in performance when acting the same task in environments with different interfaces. Thus, it is expected that the physical contact offered in the real environment favors a more efficient processing channel due to tactile feedback. In virtual tasks, the objective of the action is abstract and directed to intangible objects that can directly influence and hinder performance.<br>The evaluation of the motor performance will be quantified by the number of hits and errors in the Move Hero games in two interfaces (with touch and without touch).
