Ye Li; Viridiana L. Benitez – Child Development Perspectives, 2025
In infancy, sensorimotor capacities directly affect learning. Although developmental scientists have studied the link between sensorimotor capacities and learning, their work has focused primarily on a narrow window of time connecting just two domains. In this article, we propose that considering concurrences across multiple time points and…

Guess, Doug; And Others – 1982
Ten replication studies based on quantitative procedures developed to measure motor and sensory/motor skill acquisition among handicapped and nonhandicapped infants and children are presented. Each study follows the original assessment procedures, and emphasizes the stability of interobserver reliability across time, consistency in the response…

Meier, John; Segner, Leslie – 1969
This paper examines the developmental problems of the environmentally disadvantaged in light of recent research; makes a case for intervention during infancy, and attempts to specify some concrete details of a curriculum for an Infant Educational System (IES). A rationale for infant education is presented and a vast amount of literature related to…

Painter, Genevieve – 1968
This investigation evaluated a group of 20 8-month to 2-year-old culturally disadvantaged children who were given a 1-year structured educational program as a means of environmental intervention. The program involved language training, conceptual training, and sensory-motor training. The study is the first phase of a longitudinal study to…

Cratty, Bryant J. – 1979
Motor behavior, motor performance, and motor learning are discussed at length within the context of infant and child development. Individual chapters focus on the following: the sensory-motor behavior of infants; analysis of selected perceptual-motor programs; beginnings of movement in infants; gross motor attributes in early childhood; visual…

Guess, Doug; And Others – 1982
Three studies that applied quantitative procedures to measure motor and sensory/motor acquisition among handicapped and nonhandicapped infants and children are presented. In addition, a study concerning the replication of the quantitative procedures for assessing rolling behavior is described in a fourth article. The first study, by C. Janssen,…
