The results show that 5-year-old children perform better than 4-year-old children in the four experiments. The results indicate that interaction design for young children that uses point-and-touch gestures should consider smaller distance between targets, and design using drag-and-drop gestures should consider larger size of targets, as these have significant effects in the way children perform these gestures
