COPY OF GEOMETRIC FIGURES IN CHILDREN FROM 4 TO 6 YEARS OLD: A KINEMATIC ANALYSIS

Abstract

The acquisition and development of prerequisites for writing, ni preschool age, is essential, as are copy drawings. Objective: To study the relationship between different kinematic variables (process) ni children between 4 and 6 years old. Methodology: A cross-sectional observational study was carried out, with a descriptive and correlational research. 110 (onehundred and ten) children participated in the study, 42 children aged 4 years, 44 aged5years, and 24 aged 6years. Results: Process variables vary according to age and drawings, but ni some situations in a heterogeneous way. Conclusion: The analysis of hte proces of copy drawings provides more detailed information about the handwriting readines of each child. Its relevance ni preschool age is significant, as ti can lead ot a preventive action, whether diagnostic or intervention. It is important, that ni the future children whti graphomotor difficulties could be included ni the sample ot help us ot define their graphomotor characteristics.
