Direct linkSeefeldt, Vern; Haubenstricker, John; Branta, Crystal F.; Pfeiffer, Karin A. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2021
The Michigan State University (MSU) Motor Performance Study (MPS) was initiated in 1967 and was known across the United States for its unique blend of teaching, service, and research. Dr. Vern Seefeldt began the study as a means to begin research with children on-campus. The instructional portion of the program ended in 1999; data collection…

Perceptual development which depends on ability of learning and maturity, is the most important process of mental development. It is commonly believed that the mental development of children is limited due to city life. Children can learn perceptual elements through movement participation. This improves the cognitive development, which triggers…

Peer reviewedSmith, Leon E. – Educational Perspectives, 1973
Teachers are confronted with the practical problem of deciding how large correlations should be between individual differences in motor skills in order to be taken seriously and influence and/or be the stimulus for modifying or drastically changing their current teaching practice. (Author)

Geiger, William L. – 1975
Compared were the perceptual and gross motor abilities of 30 mentally retarded and 25 nonretarded 10- to 12-year-old children. Performance data on such motor tasks as the agility run, 20-yard dash, obstacle course, and target hop were recorded, with separate data for the retarded Ss on the basis of etiological classification (Down's Syndrome,…

Fisher, Janet M. – 1983
Selected electromyographic parameters underlying static postural control in 4, 6, and 8 year old normally and slowly developing children during performance of selected arm movements were studied. Developmental delays in balance control were assessed by the Cashin Test of Motor Development (1974) and/or the Williams Gross Motor Coordination Test…

Sellers, Jeanne Shanks – 1983
Some of the more frequently observed reflex patterns in cerebral palsy are examined, and descriptions are given of how they affect movement. A chart outlines: (1) desirable movement patterns; (2) typical abnormal movement of the cerebral palsied child; (3) possible physical cause of abnormal movements; and (4) activities which may facilitate…

Peer reviewedAhern, Kathy – Early Education and Development, 2000
Notes children with movement difficulties do not receive neat diagnostic classification, as they have normal intelligence and minimal neurological signs. Details a study based on interviews of 11 parents of children with movement difficulties that revealed that parent involvement and knowledge is critical to acquiring professional attention.…

DuBose, Rebecca F. – 1976
Examined are the effects of motor skill development and impairment on the infant's and young child's overall functioning, and suggested are guidelines for assessing motor skills in multiply handicapped children. It is explained that motor delays and deficits limit a child's learning during critical developmental periods. Examples of delayed motor…

Anderson, Marian H.; And Others – 1972
This book presents a planned program of physical education for children from kindergarten through the eighth grade. The material is designed to aid the teacher in planning balanced units of instruction to meet the needs of the pupils. Suggested Grade Placement Charts at the beginning of each new type of activity help to determine the activities…

Frichtl, Chris; Peterson, Linda Whitney – 1969
Professional workers can assist parents of retarded infants by (1) helping them to recognize and cope with their feelings of guilt and despair, and (2) establishing a home program of exercises to allay the infant's inertia. Such exercises have been demonstrated by numerous investigators to be of positive value in improvement of motor performance.…
