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…

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…

Carlson, Robert – 1971
In this speech, the author expresses concern for the child who does not seem able to perform. The author states that there is an orderly acquisition of sensations, skills, and/or patterns that we move through in the process of learning, and that the acquisition of more advanced skills is predicted on the assumption that earlier sensations, skills,…

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…

Rohr, Alice M. – 1968
Perceptual deficits in child development have been found to be very common in the underachiever. Such deficits can be identified and treated with training in coordination skills such as large motor, hand-eye, and auditory-speech. This paper reports an innovative training project in three New York state elementary schools. Subjects were selected…

Corrie, Loraine; Barratt-Pugh, Caroline – Australian Journal of Early Childhood, 1997
Early childhood perceptual-motor programs as preventive and remedial measures present three concerns: (1) they have minimal positive effects; (2) funds could be used to investigate more effective educational strategies; and (3) the rationale for these programs does not fit with the Australian Early Childhood Association's Code of Ethics. Play is…

Crawford, Connie M. – 1995
In 1988, 59 Kindergarten students were studied to determine the effect of "shadowing" on perceptual-motor learning. Shadowing is a method whereby the use of one's shadow provides visual feedback. The method developed from observing children's natural curiosity in creating shadows. Illuminated by sunlight outdoors or overhead projectors…
