Lee, Mei-Hua; Farshchiansadegh, Ali; Ranganathan, Rajiv – Developmental Science, 2018
Examining age differences in motor learning using real-world tasks is often problematic due to task novelty and biomechanical confounds. Here, we investigated how children and adults acquire a novel motor skill in a virtual environment. Participants of three different age groups (9-year-olds, 12-year-olds, and adults) learned to use their upper…

Bard, Chantal; And Others – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1995
Tested children's transfer of training in performance of coincidence-anticipation task. At an experimental apparatus, children attempted to intercept a fixed or moving target by pressing a button or by sliding a disk (the criterion task). Found that improved accuracy in intercepting the moving target by sliding the disk occurred only when children…

Best, Helen; And Others – 1967
Students in 24 perceptual development classes for the minimally brain injured were studied to determine the effect of structured physical activity on motor skill development, to compare this effect with the effect of unstructured activity, and to determine the effect of an increased amount of time of physical activity. The Johnson Test of Motor…

Barringer, M. D.; Kosal-Smither, C. – 1982
A resource and activity guide for the developmentally disabled that focuses on fine motor skills is presented. Attention is directed to fine motor behavior during the first year (vision, grasp, and release and reaching), and behaviors developing at 13 months (the interaction of fine motor and cognitive skills). An introductory section considers…

Barringer, M. D.; Kosal-Smither, C. – 1982
A resource and activity guide for the developmentally disabled that focuses on methods to teach students skills essential to learning is presented. It is noted that once students begin to acquire these critical skills, they can become active participants in group learning activities, rather than waiting for their turn in individual sessions. They…
