The relationship between motor function and cognition in the developmental perspective.

C A Hauert

    Italian Journal of Neurological Sciences
    |April 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Motor function is a cognitive function, challenging current research. This study integrates a priori analysis, synchronic, and diachronic data to support this view, emphasizing developmental perspectives.

    Area of Science:

    • Cognitive Neuroscience
    • Motor Control Research
    • Developmental Psychology

    Background:

    • Current motor behavior research largely views motor function as independent of cognition.
    • Cognition's role is often limited to the ideational aspects preceding movement.
    • A gap exists in understanding the integrated nature of motor and cognitive functions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To challenge the prevailing view of motor function independence.
    • To propose that motor function is inherently a cognitive function.
    • To highlight the importance of developmental perspectives in motor function studies.

    Main Methods:

    • A priori analysis of movement production and control operations.
    • Review of synchronic (simultaneous) experimental data.
    • Analysis of diachronic (developmental) experimental data.

    Main Results:

    • Evidence supports the integration of motor and cognitive functions.
    • Motor function exhibits characteristics of cognitive processes.
    • Developmental data provides crucial insights into this relationship.

    Conclusions:

    • Motor function should be conceptualized as a cognitive function.
    • This perspective necessitates a re-evaluation of motor behavior research paradigms.
    • Incorporating developmental trajectories is essential for a comprehensive understanding.
