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…

Amy Armstrong-Heimsoth; Abbey Monroe; Camryn Cupp; Nancy Potter; Mark VanDam; Beate Peter – Journal of Occupational Therapy, Schools & Early Intervention, 2024
Speech problems affect about 66% of children with classic galactosemia (CG), but limited evidence is reported on early motor and sensory motor development in this at-risk population. Research has been focused on speech and language development, leaving a paucity of data on motor and sensory differences. This paper describes preliminary data…

Jeffrey Kramer Bye; Jenny Yun-Chen Chan; Avery H. Closser; Ji-Eun Lee; Stacy T. Shaw; Erin R. Ottmar – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2024
Students often perform arithmetic using rigid problem-solving strategies that involve left-to-right-calculations. However, as students progress from arithmetic to algebra, entrenchment in rigid problem-solving strategies can negatively impact performance as students experience varied problem representations that sometimes conflict with the order…

Wenger, Michael J.; Rhoten, Stephanie E. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
In their seminal study of chess expertise, Simon and Chase (Chase & Simon, 1973; Simon & Chase, 1973) proposed that perceptual learning was a necessary component of skill acquisition. In their view, acquisition of skill results from the strategic use of learning at multiple levels to adaptively overcome inherent limitations. The knowledge…

Kapodistria, Loukia; Chatzopoulos, Dimitris; Chomoriti, Katerina; Lykesas, Georgios; Lola, Afroditi – International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education, 2021
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a Greek traditional dance programme on sensorimotor synchronization (SMS) and reaction time on primary school children (6.41 ± 0.41 yr.). We randomly assigned 61 children to either the dance group (31 children, 15 boys, 16 girls, 6.42 ± 0.40 yr.), who took part in a dance programme of 12…

Benson, Jeryl D.; Donoso Brown, Elena V.; Blough, Ashley; Smitsky, Deborah – Journal of Occupational Therapy, Schools & Early Intervention, 2020
This quasi-experimental study explored the effects of sensorimotor strategies on improving attention and in-seat behavior of preschoolers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Using a single subject, B-A-B-A design with a sensorimotor phase (B) and non-sensorimotor phase (A), duration of attention and in-seat behavior were recorded and analyzed…
