Direct linkScharoun Benson, Sara M.; Bryden, Pamela J.; Roy, Eric A. – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2019
Objects can be grasped in different ways to ensure a movement plan is aligned with the intended action. The current study assessed grasp posture in joint action object manipulation in children (ages 6-11, n = 68), young adults (n = 21), and older adults (n = 23). Participants performed two actions (pickup and pass; pickup and pass for use) within…

Beck, Sarah R.; Apperly, Ian A.; Chappell, Jackie; Guthrie, Carlie; Cutting, Nicola – Cognition, 2011
Tool making evidences intelligent, flexible thinking. In Experiment 1, we confirmed that 4- to 7-year-olds chose a hook tool to retrieve a bucket from a tube. In Experiment 2, 3- to 5-year-olds consistently failed to innovate a simple hook tool. Eight-year-olds performed at mature levels. In contrast, making a tool following demonstration was easy…

Thibaut, Jean-Pierre; Toussaint, Lucette – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2010
Few studies have explored the development of response selection processes in children in the case of object manipulation. In the current research, we studied the "end-state comfort effect," the tendency to ensure a comfortable position at the end rather than at the beginning of simple object manipulation tasks. We used two versions of the…

Peer reviewedVandenberg, Brian – Journal of Psychology, 1981
Examined whether the density of play continues to increase as children grow older. Four- and five-year-olds made simple constructions using few materials, six- and seven-year-olds made more constructions with more materials, and eight-to ten-year-olds made fewer but much more extensive and integrated constructions.

Ashby, Alan A. – 1982
Age-related characteristics of children's short-term retention of kinesthetic movement information were examined in this study. Three age levels (6-, 8-, and 10-year old children) were tested for recall of preselected location movements on a linear slide apparatus. Immediate and delayed recall were used in 16 trials. The results indicate that…

Williams, Kathleen; Turpin, Betty Ann M. – 1982
The purpose of this study was to explore how children use location and distance cues to reproduce movements as compared with adults. Subjects were three groups of children, aged 6, 8, and 10, and one group of adults. A linear slide was used by the blindfolded subjects to indicate one of two experimenter-defined stops. Distance and location were…
