Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Faugno, Rebecca S. – Journal of Occupational Therapy, Schools & Early Intervention, 2020
Pediatric developmental assessments from the early 1900s are different from those used more often today. Certain present-day pediatric expectations of fine motor skills, specifically those of pre-writing strokes, appear more advanced when compared to those of the past. In the mid-20th century, child developmentalists described the sequences in…

Soska, Kasey C.; Adolph, Karen E.; Johnson, Scott P. – Developmental Psychology, 2010
How do infants learn to perceive the backs of objects that they see only from a limited viewpoint? Infants' 3-dimensional object completion abilities emerge in conjunction with developing motor skills--independent sitting and visual-manual exploration. Infants at 4.5 to 7.5 months of age (n = 28) were habituated to a limited-view object and tested…

Deconinck, Frederik J. A.; De Clercq, Dirk; Van Coster, Rudy; Oostra, Ann; Dewitte, Griet; Savelsbergh, Geert J. P.; Cambier, Dirk; Lenoir, Matthieu – Adapted Physical Activity Quarterly, 2008
This study examined and compared the control of posture during bilateral stance in ten boys with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) of 6-8 years old and ten matched typically developing boys in four sensory conditions (with or without vision, on a firm or complaint surface). In all conditions mean postural sway velocity was larger for the…

Morein-Zamir, Sharon; Chua, Romeo; Franks, Ian; Nagelkerke, Paul; Kingstone, Alan – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2007
Using a continuous tracking task, the authors examined whether stopping is resistant to expectancies as well as whether it is a representative measure of response control. Participants controlled the speed of a moving marker by continuously adjusting their response force. Participants stopped their ongoing tracking in response to auditory signals…

Wassenberg, Renske; Feron, Frans J. M.; Kessels, Alfons G. H.; Hendriksen, Jos G. M.; Kalff, Ariane C.; Kroes, Marielle; Hurks, Petra P. M.; Beeren, Miranda; Jolles, Jelle; Vles, Johan S. H. – Child Development, 2005
The relation between cognitive and motor performance was studied in a sample of 378 children aged 5-6. Half of these children had no behavior problems; the others were selected for externalizing (38%) or internalizing problems (12%). Quantitative and qualitative aspects of motor performance were related to several aspects of cognition, after…
