For one of the subjects, the task was to cross a series of obstacles while blindfolded, following the instructions of a partner on the movements to be performed during the crossing. The results show that there were significant differences between children aged seven and ten, and between children of the same age but from different education systems in Brazil. However, few differences were found between Brazilian and English children
