Serrien, Deborah J.; O'Regan, Louise – European Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2021
Fine motor skills develop in childhood. In this study, we evaluate motor planning in 6- to 11-year-old children using a pegboard and midline crossing task. The results of the pegboard task showed that children modified their strategies of hand use and space use as a function of age, albeit with a transition in the 8- to 9-year-old children. The…

Wu, Jiamin; Chan, John S. Y.; Yan, Jin H. – Developmental Science, 2019
We examined the developmental differences in motor control and learning of a two-segment movement. One hundred and five participants (53 female) were divided into three age groups (7-8 years, 9-10 years and 19-27 years). They performed a two-segment movement task in four conditions (full vision, fully disturbed vision, disturbed vision in the…

Rothenberg-Cunningham, Alek; Newell, Karl M. – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2013
Purpose: This study investigated the age-related speed--accuracy strategies of children, adolescents, and adults in performing a rapid striking task that allowed the self-selection of the interception position in a virtual, two-dimensional environment. Method: The moving target had curvilinear trajectories that were determined by combinations of…

Reilly, Kevin J.; Moore, Christopher A. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2009
Purpose: The present investigation was designed to study the modulation of abdomen and rib cage movements during vocalization over a period of development associated with rapid decreases in the compliance of the chest wall. Method: Rib cage and abdominal kinematics were recorded during spontaneous vocalizations in 7- and 11-month old infants.…

Martins, Isabel; Lauterbach, Martin; Slade, Peter; Luis, Henriques; DeRouen, Timothy; Martin, Michael; Caldas, Alexandre; Leitao, Jorge; Rosenbaum, Gail; Townes, Brenda – Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 2008
Neurological examination of children includes the screening for soft neurological signs (NSS). There is little knowledge about their evolution during adolescence, except that their lasting presence has been associated with developmental, psychological, and cognitive disorders. We report the results of a NSS exam (assessing gross and fine motor…

Clark, Jane E.; And Others – Developmental Psychology, 1989
Studied effects of changing internal and external constraints on the development of jumping in children of three, five, seven, and nine years, and adults. Results revealed no differences in the pattern of coordination for jumping. Differences were found in the position and magnitude variables. (RJC)

Olivier, Isabelle; Audiffren, Michel; Ripoll, Hubert – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1998
Investigated mechanisms underlying age-related differences in information processing for production of motor responses, especially development of feedforward mechanisms. Studied 6-, 8-, 10-, and 22-year olds under two conditions: without advance information on movement to be made, and with advanced information on movement. Found beyond 6 years of…

Olivier, Isabelle; Bard, Chantal – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2000
Examined effects of spatial precues on rapid execution of aim in 7-, 9-, and 11-year-olds, providing kinematic support to the role of precues in aiming tasks performed under temporal constraints. Found that precuing spatial dimensions of movement shortened reaction times as a function of the number of precued parameters. Spatial precues modified…

Fortney, Virginia L. – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 1983
The running patterns of two-, four-, and six-year-old children were analyzed to determine how age and sex differences affected selected kinematic and kinetic variables. Differences tended to involve displacement, velocity, and magnitude of force measures. Sex differences concerning the leg swing were noted. (Author/PP)

Thomassen, Arnold J. W. M.; Teulings, Hans-Leo H. M. – Visible Language, 1979
The developing directional preferences in writing and drawing that were observed in subjects between four years of age and adulthood suggest that two semiindependent motor systems are involved in writing: one for rapid and nonfigurative tasks, the other--which occurs later--for precision and symbolic functions.

DiNucci, James M. – 1975
This study was undertaken to compare the motor performance age and race differences between black and caucasian boys ages six to nine. One hundred and twenty subjects were administered 25 test items which measured (a) muscular strength, (b) muscular endurance, (c) cardio-respiratory endurance, (d) speed, (e) power, (f) agility, (g) balance, and…

Shapiro, A. H. – Child Development, 1973
These data appear to support the conception that the speech motor system can act as a mediator of other motor systems when speech'' is experimentally manipulated. (Author)

Williams, Kathleen – 1983
An investigation examined the use of "preferred speeds" by young children in their response to a timing task. Three groups of boys, 5, 7, and 9 years old, made a simple horizontal arm movement that would end with contacting a microswitch at the same time a light reached the end of the runway. One stimulus traveled at the individual's…

Livesey, David J. – Developmental Psychology, 2002
Investigated the relationship between Vividness of Movement Imagery Questionnaire scores and kinesthetic acuity--the sense of body position and movement--among 10- and 14-year-olds. Found that in the older group, those with high levels of visual movement imagery performed better on measures of kinesthetic acuity; no such effect was found for…
