Broadhead, Geoffrey D.; Church, Gabie E. – Education and Training of the Mentally Retarded, 1983
The motor performance of 49 nonhandicapped children and 18 mildly and moderately retarded children (5-12 years old) was assessed to determine the appropriateness of their physical education instruction. Although 66 percent of Ss were correctly clasified, some nonhandicapped and mentally retarded children were misclassified. (Author/CL)

Peer reviewedAdelson, Edna; Fraiberg, Selma – Child Development, 1974
Longitudinal study of patterns of gross motor development in congenitally blind infants indicated that neuromuscular maturation and postural achievements were similar to those of sighted infants, but that self-initiated mobility and locomotion were delayed. (ST)

Featheringham, Richard D. – Balance Sheet, 1973
Selected factors of practice promoting typewriting skill are: practice is no guarantee of learning; nonrepetitive practice is better than repetitive; mentally rehearsing a skill task is beneficial; little or no improvement takes place without knowledge of results, and; plateaus in motor skill learning may be indicative of practice limit.…

Walsh, Elaine M. – Instructor, 1974
Materials and equipment for an outdoor learning area where Mexican and Anglo kindergarten children can play and development motor skills and creativity were supplied by a $250 Instructor Dream Dollar award. (GB)

Gagne, Robert M. – Interchange, 1972
It is suggested that generalizations about critical learning conditions and outcomes can be made within categories of learning processes but not across them. Implications of this proposition are examined. (Author/MM)

Kral, Paul A. – Education and Training of the Mentally Retarded, 1972
Reviewed are normal-retarded comparisons in motor development, the relationship between motor and intellectual ability, and the effects of physical training upon motor performance and IQ. (KW)

Goals and activities for a motor development program for the mentally retarded are suggested. (KW)

Peer reviewedLoo, Chalsa; Wenar, Charles – Child Development, 1971
Forty middle class kindergarten children's activity level was not found to be correlated with motor inhibition, impulsivity, or IA, while motor inhibition was significantly correlated with IQ but not with impulsivity. (WY)

Peer reviewedJoos, Sandra K.; And Others – Child Development, 1983
Examines the effect of nutritional supplementation provided to mothers during pregnancy and lactation on the mental and motor development of their infants. While neither sex nor mental differences could be attributed to supplementation, motor development in infants was affected. (Author/MP)

Peer reviewedMajeres, Raymond L.; Timmer, Therese – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1981
Sixty children, ages 2-4, observed videotaped, same-sex models perform sequences of skills requiring different levels of motor development. When asked to imitate one act from each sequence, children tended to imitate skills at their own developmental level rather than skills above or below their current level of competence. (Author/SJL)
