How do children adapt strategies when drawing on a tablet?
Siti Rohkmah Mohd Shukri, Andrew J. Howes · 2014
Children like to draw, but how easy is it for them to draw with a touch screen device? More specifically how do children adapt the way that they draw to the device and to their own limitations? Recent work has shown that while children seem to like using tablets they have specific difficulties. For example, they make multi-touch errors when only single touch actions are required. We are at the start of a project to investigate these issues. In the current article we review our theoretical and empirical perspective, which is derived, in part, from the cognitive psychology of human movement control.
