چکیده

In this investigation of developmental changes in the coordination of perceived optical flow and postural responses, 4 age groups of infants (5-, 7-, 9-, and 13-month-olds) were tested while seated on a force plate in a "moving room." During each trial the walls oscillated in an anteroposterior direction for 12 s, and the postural sway of the infant was measured. The results revealed that infants perceived the frequency and amplitude of the optical flow and scaled their postural responses to the visual information. This scaling was present even before infants could sit without support, but it showed considerable improvement during the period when infants learn to sit. Taken together, these results suggest that the visuomotor coordination necessary for controlling sitting is functional prior to the onset of independent sitting but becomes more finely tuned with experience.

Action - Perception patterns emerge from coupling andadaptationG

Organisms function in particular environments, the properties of which are reeected in the structure of their nervous systems. Therefore, sensory information may directly specify motor behaviors. We argue that such speciication involves the coupling of sensory information into appropriately structured control systems that generate action. The nature of this coupling as well as the structure of ...

Development of visual-motor perception in pupils with expressive writing disorder and pupils without expressive writing disorder: a comparative statistical analysis

  Background: Learning disability is one of the most noticed subjects for behavioral specialists. Most of the learning difficulties are caused by senso-motor development and neurological organization. The main purpose of the present research is to examine the role of delayed perceptual-motor development and brain damage in origination of expressive writing disorder (EWD).   Methods: The studi...
