Motor control

the Visual Motor Integration and Visual Perception assessment (June 2015) and did not complete the Motor Coordination assessment due to Nardia’s attention and participation decreasing. Nardia listened to instructions and followed them correctly when completing the Beery VMI. When Nardia was asked after, how did she find that, she mentioned that she enjoyed drawing. Nardia’s scores are as follows: VMI raw score = 7, percentile = 0.8% Visual perception raw score = 10, percentiles = 2% Motor…

EXSS 2025 Motor Control and Learning Experiment 4: Reaction, Movement& Response Time in Decision-Making Tasks I. Question 3: (i) Why are multiple repeated trials in each task required (ii) Why do we need to complete checks on the data (identify errors etc)? (iii) Why was there a variable fore-period between the start of a trial and the appearance of a stimulus in the tasks? (iv) Why was randomization necessary from Task 1b onwards? (v) Why was 80%(congruent) vs 20%(incongruent) split used in…

a time in my life that I remember the most because it contains a lot of happy memories. This period of time brought many changes in a child’s life like mine. By this time, I was able to dress and tie my shoes by myself, and physically I had more control in my mobility. I was an eager youngster who wanted to do everything on my own and disregarded all consequences. Having independence from family became more important at this time. I enjoyed events such as starting school because it brought me…

Improved gross and fine motor skills have significant cognitive and socioemotional implications. Early motor development has been used for a long time as a foresight for later age motor and cognitive development. Researchers have long realized that specific motor development milestones, like walking or crawling, can help doctors and parents track early development in their children. Recently, they have learned that those milestones may be a useful tool for predicting later age development.…

All it took for my friends to lure me into tennis was to suggest that I join the team with them sophomore year. At first it started out as something to do with my friends, but soon became a hobby and passion of mine as I learned more about the game. Tennis is a sport that involves two players hitting a ball back and forth across a net to each other using a racquet. It may sound simple, but decades have passed since the game was created and has given people time to turn the game into a highly…

to be “easy to use and comfortable”. The Pencil Grip increases comfort, teaches proper hand positioning, and improves control. Its ergonomic design also provides relief of hand fatigue and pain. Both right handed and left handed individuals can use it. Students place their fingers on either the L or R on the device. Skills Needed to Use Device (Cognitive, Gross Motor and Fine Motor Skills) Students need to be able to place their fingers on their pencil, grip the pencil and be able to write…

In response to question one, at twelve months of age my child, Aidan, compares relatively normally to the typical development patterns in children twelve months of age. (1A) Two motor skills that Aidan achieved by 12 months of age are walking and throwing. Aidan first started to walk by himself as a normal motor skill at 12 months and he started to display throwing at 12 months as well. (1B) Aidan was on time walking by himself according to the normal age milestones. By 11-13 months, children…

On Wednesday, October 26, 2016 at approximately 10:15 A.M. I completed my gross motor observation in Mrs. Sayre’s classroom at Breton Downs Elementary school. I observed William, a six-year-old member of the first grade classroom. My observation was done during the classroom exercise time. Gross motor activities that I witnessed were as followed: dancing, jumping, walking, and clapping. William was standing roughly fifteen feet in front of me, eyes looking ahead to the screen as he waited…

1. What are ALL of the toys the infant / child is interested in? Name at least three different toys. What are the fine motor requirements for playing with one of these toys? Be comprehensive when you describe the fine motor requirements (symmetry, posture, muscle work, range, coordination, type of grasp) i.e. not simply examining motor control of the digits (4 points) (Wisconsin Child Welfare Training System, 2006) The infant was playing with a variety of toys but he particularly was…

Children in the middle childhood become more independent but still need some supervision. At this time children are known as concrete-operational according to Paiget’s theory (Rathus, 2011, p. 346). In this stage children are beginning to become more logically skilled. They begin to logic and concrete information. Along with the development of logic, they also begin to develop an understanding of others around them. They become less egocentric. Although they have developed logical thinking they…
