In 2008, Stodden and colleagues took a unique developmental approach toward addressing
the potential role of motor competence in promoting positive or negative trajectories of …

There is scarce research and programmatic evidence on the effect of poor water, sanitation,
and hygiene (WASH) conditions of the physical environment on early child cognitive …

While virtual reality (VR) training has been used in many examples of specialized skills
training, its learning effect has also been explored with a focus on gross motor performance …

The development of fundamental movement skills (FMS) is associated with positive health‐
related outcomes. Children do not develop FMS naturally through maturational processes …

As the field of robotics is expanding from the fixed environment of a production line to

This book provides an overview of human development and includes the relationship
between motor development and cognitive and social development. It explores factors …

In light of the interrelation between motor and cognitive development and the predictive
value of the former for the latter, the secular decline observed in motor coordination ability as …

This paper posits that the brain evolved for the control of action rather than for the
development of cognition per se. We note that the terms commonly used to describe brain …

Context Infants who are very preterm (born≤ 32 weeks of gestation) and very low birth
