AbstractThere is a general consensus that developmental coordination disorder (DCD) is characterized by impairedmo-tor learning skills. However, actual studies of motor learning inDCDare scarce and, above all, inconsistent. The aims of the present studywere therefore to explore the presumed presence of a motor learning deficit among individuals with DCD and to provide a synopsis of the current literature on motor learn-ing in DCD. We begin by defining DCD (etiology, neuropsy-chology, and brain bases), motor learning (measurement of learning, methods for promoting skill acquisition, scheduling, practice, retention, and feedback) and, of course, the link be-tween the two, focusing on the issue of a possiblemotor learn-ing deficit inDCD. We then discuss dominant hypotheses and suggest directions for future research in this domain, in the light of research conducted thus far. Particular attention is paid throughout to guide the choice of intervention approaches
