Aslin, Richard N. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1997
Examines the meaning of reaction time (RT) and the possibility that it may predict other cognitive and motor skills in the first year of life. Considers two competing models that specify the information-processing components underlying RT performance. Describes the neural data needed to definitively choose between the models and considers…

Consistency of Cognitive and Motor Performance Measures over Two Years in Reading Retarded Children.

Aman, M. F.; Mayhew, J. M. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1980
Children identified for specific reading retardation were tested at initial contact and after two years on a variety of measures including seat activity, and cognitive and motor steadiness tasks. Speed of response and motor steadiness showed moderate to very high consistency over the two years. (Author/SJL)

Lockman, Jeffrey J. – Child Development, 2000
Maintains that advances in the literature on perception-action development suggests that tool use may be a more continuous developmental achievement than previously believed. Suggests new research directions, including efforts to investigate the processes by which children detect and relate affordances between objects, coordinate spatial frames of…
