Associated movements as a measure of developmental age / Peter H. WOLFF in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 25-4 (August 1983)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 25-4 (August 1983) . - p.417-429 Titre : Associated movements as a measure of developmental age Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Peter H. WOLFF, Auteur ; C. E. GUNNOE, Auteur ; C. COHEN, Auteur Année de publication : 1983 Article en page(s) : p.417-429 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Fifty normal kindergarten and 50 first-grade children were examined three times at six-month intervals for synkineses to stress gaits and mirror movements to finger lifting, finger spreading, and timed motor maneuvers. Motor signs in the age-sensitive range showed substantial individual differences between children of the same chronological age. The frequency of associated movements changed reliably in the expected direction over a 12-month period, and within each domain of neuromotor function the individual motor signs conformed to a stable sequence of developmental stages. It is concluded that age-appropriate motor signs for associated movements are a reliable measure of developmental age, in contrast to chronological age, among elementary-school children.

Neuromotor maturation and psychological performance: a developmental study / Peter H. WOLFF in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 27-3 (June 1985)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 27-3 (June 1985) . - p.344-354 Titre : Neuromotor maturation and psychological performance: a developmental study Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Peter H. WOLFF, Auteur ; C. E. GUNNOE, Auteur ; C. COHEN, Auteur Année de publication : 1985 Article en page(s) : p.344-354 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Groups of 50 normal kindergarten and 50 first-grade children were examined three times at six-month intervals on the extended neuromotor examination for children, as well as on measures of reading achievement and language performance. The joint effect of five neuromotor measures accounted for a substantial percentage of variance in reading achievement and language performance 12 months later. As a global measure, neuromotor status therefore may constitute a reliable, independent criterion of developmental age for psychological investigations of young, normal children. The best individual predictors of psychological outcome were mirror movements and speed of timed motor repetitions, while reading achievement and automated naming speed were the dependent measures most closely associated over time with neuromotor status. Such findings suggest that the individual motor signs may also provide indirect clues about the presumed functional relationship between development of motor co-ordination and language competence.
