Deliberate Laterality Practice Facilitates Sensory-Motor Processing in Developing Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Pedersen, Scott J. – Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy, 2014
Background: The innate ability for typically developing children to attain developmental motor milestones early in life has been a thoroughly researched area of inquiry. Nonetheless, as children grow and are required to perform more complex motor skills in order to experience success in physical activity and sport pursuits, the range of…

A New Test of Auditory-Visual Integration
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Gregory, Andrew H.; Gregory, H. Margaret – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1973
Reports a study comparing two auditory-visual integration tests, one basically that developed by Birch and the other using Morse-type stimuli. Suggests reasons why the Morse form of test was more highly correlated with reading ability than the Birch test. (TO)

A Developmental Study of Shape Integration Over Space and Time.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Enns, James T.; Girgus, Joan S. – Developmental Psychology, 1986
Three experiments with observers aged 6 to 21 years of age examined the integration of shape information over successive glances. Results indicated age-related improvements in the sequential integration of shape information, both when integration occurs through successive glimpses over space and when information is separated only in time.

Perceptual Aspects of Motor Performance.
Gallahue, David L. – 1983
Perceptual-motor functioning is a cyclic process involving: (1) organizing incoming sensory stimuli with past or stored perceptual information; (2) making motor (internal) decisions based on the combination of sensory (present) and perceptual (past) information; (3) executing the actual movement (observable act) itself; and (4) evaluating the act…

Processing Time Declines Exponentially during Childhood and Adolescence.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kail, Robert – Developmental Psychology, 1991
Children and adults were tested on six speeded perceptual-motor and cognitive tasks, including a (1) response time task; (2) button tapping task; (3) pegboard task; (4) coding task; (5) picture matching task; and (6) mental addition task. Age-related change in processing time on most of these tasks was described by a single exponential function.…

ACHIEVING PERCEPTUAL-MOTOR EFFICIENCY, A SPACE-ORIENTED APPROACH TO LEARNING. PERCEPTUAL MOTOR CURRICULUM, VOLUME I.
BARSCH, RAY H. – 1967
THE FIRST OF A 3-VOLUME PERCEPTUAL MOTOR CURRICULUM, THE BOOK DESCRIBES A PROGRAM BASED ON A THEORY OF MOVEMENT WHICH THE AUTHOR LABELS MOVIGENICS (THE STUDY OF THE ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT OF PATTERNS OF MOVEMENT IN MAN AND THE RELATIONSHIP OF THESE MOVEMENTS TO HIS LEARNING EFFICIENCY). TEN BASIC CONSTRUCTS OF MOVIGENICS ARE OUTLINED, AND THE…
