A large amount of research on DCD has been focused on the analysis of the relationship
between perceptual ability, visual-motor integration and motor development.
In order to carry out a complex motor pattern it is necessary for the central
nervous system (CNS) to be able to process afferent information rapidly and efficiently.
Perceptual elaboration of visual information gives rise to a retinotopic representation
that needs to be transformed into a stable spatial representation (Chieffi,
2002). This representation can be obtained through the integration of information
from proprioceptors about the relative position of the head and the body, together
with information concerning the position of the visual stimulus in the retina
