The influences of early crawling experience on motor skill development were examined in children identified by parents as crawlers or noncrawlers during infancy. Relative to the performance crawlers, showed lower average and subtest-specific selected measures Miller Assessment for Preschoolers. These results, interpreted through Ayres' sensory integration theory applied current occupational therapy practice, support Farber's hypothesized importance systems body general development.
Participants between the ages of 3 and 20 years adjusted Müller-Lyer illusion inverted-T form Horizontal-Vertical illusion. Perceptual error was quantified using signal detection nonparametric measures sensitivity responsivity. Significant changes in responsivity were found for each across participants' ages. No effect sex participant found. Sensitivity largely asymptotic 13 to 15 11
Illusion decrement for the Müller-Lyer and Horizontal-Vertical illusions was examined. The experiment consisted of an initial adjustment illusion followed by 20 test trials, each with intervening 60-sec. intertrial interval during which a comparator line standard set to equality were visually inspected 0, 20, 40, or 60 sec. After length reset experimenter either 0 90 cm, subjects then adjusted its perceived (42 cm). inversely related duration inspection illusion, significant reductions in...
Perceptual error in the Müller-Lyer and Horizontal-Vertical illusions was quantified using nonparametric signal-detection measures of sensitivity response bias. Sensitivity scores were positively related to signal strength with greatest values observed for strongest signals. at each did not differ between two illusions. Response-bias inversely strength, most conservative biases Response significantly more than illusion.
The present study examined procedure-specific differences in the acquisition and retention of perceptual learning using four forms Horizontal-Vertical illusion. Training to criterion was conducted intertrial feedback, continued visual inspection, or yoked-control procedures. Retention assessed at posttraining intervals ranging from 1 minute month. Subjects trained with feedback achieved fewer trials showed greater accuracy short-term on inverted-T figure 1-in. vertical line-production task....
The effectiveness of an early intervention program to remediate developmental delays in children age birth 3 years was examined part- and full-time groups (Study 1). Significant improvements on age-appropriate measures standing were observed for both groups, with the greatest gains group. In Study 2, stress parents developmentally delayed measured Parental Stress Inventory. Reductions related children's characteristics dysfunctional parenting skills some sub-scales, supporting prior research...
