Peer reviewedLim, Levan; Lin, Chien-Hui; Browder, Diane M. – Education and Training in Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities, 2002
A review of applications of motion study in developmental disabilities identifies two eras of research focus in the 1990s: (1) studies establishing the effectiveness and efficiency of tasks designed with motion study principles and (2) studies examining the interaction between motion study-based task designs and other variables such as choice,…

Peer reviewedKerr, Robert; Blais, Christine – American Journal of Mental Retardation, 1988
Because previous studies had suggestd that Down Syndrome subjects did not respond to changes in directional probability within a complex motor task as did other retarded subjects, 14 Down Syndrome 18-year-olds were given training relative to the directional probability component of the task. Performance was improved but primarily in terms of…
