Abstract
Motor presetting was investigated in hyperactive children, learning disabled children and normal controls. The reaction time of the hyperactive group was more sensitive to increases in interstimulus interval (even rate) than was that of the learning disabled and the controls. This finding indicates that hyperactive children have difficulty with motor presetting.Keywords
