Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The relationship between exercise and cognition is an important research topic that has only recently begun to unfold. The purpose of the article is to study graphomotor skills and their impact on the level of intelligence in children using an electronic application. In the article, the authors experimented with calculating the IQ level of children using data on graphomotor skills obtained after using the «Nimble Fingers» electronic application, which can be done based on the use of standard methods of the Wexler scale, given that the electronic application is focused on the development of fine motor skills and the accuracy of tasks. The authors used two subtests of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale IV (WISC-IV) for children. It was found that two WISC-IV subtests — Block Design and Alphabet Pattern — showed significant correlations with other cognitive functions, which confirms their importance for assessing both graphomotor and cognitive skills in children. Graphomotor skills have been shown to influence academic achievement and cognitive function. The results highlight the importance of investigating the correlation between physical skills and various aspects of cognition.
