Hierarchy of Motor Control01:18

Hierarchy of Motor Control

2.5K
The hierarchy of motor control refers to the different levels of organization and processing involved in controlling movement in the body. These levels range from higher cortical areas involved in planning and decision-making to lower spinal cord reflexes that respond automatically to external stimuli.

Community Based Intervention01:30

Community Based Intervention

36
Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.

Information Processing Approach01:30

Information Processing Approach

31
The information-processing theory of cognitive development centers on fundamental mental processes, including attention, memory, and problem-solving skills. Researchers in this field examine how cognitive abilities, such as working memory, evolve and influence children's overall development. Studies indicate that children with stronger working memory tend to excel in reading comprehension, math, and problem-solving compared to peers with less efficient memory skills. Low working memory is...

Introduction to Developmental Psychology01:27

Introduction to Developmental Psychology

216
Developmental psychology explores the changes and continuities in human abilities throughout life, encompassing physical, cognitive, linguistic, and social dimensions. Human development is not restricted to growth, but includes aspects of decline, particularly in physical abilities as individuals age. Developmental psychologists seek to understand how people change as they age and how their mental and social skills evolve.

Autism Spectrum Disorder01:19

Autism Spectrum Disorder

74
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

Learning Disabilities01:25

Learning Disabilities

86
Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.
Dyslexia
Dyslexia is a...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Education

Background:

  • Young children's physical development (PD) is crucial for meeting curriculum milestones.
  • Motor competency (MC) interventions can support PD, enhancing fine motor skills (FMS) and gross motor skills (GMS).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of tailored MC interventions within a Scheme of Work (SOW) on children's PD.
  • To enable children aged 5-6 years to achieve developmental physical milestones.

Main Methods:

  • A 19-week longitudinal case study involving 25 children (5-6 years old).
  • Interventions within a bespoke SOW were evaluated at six points.
  • Data collection via observations of FMS and GMS development.

Main Results:

  • Statistically significant improvements in both FMS and GMS were observed (p < 0.05).
  • Key areas of improvement included hopping, running, climbing, kicking, catching, and scissor use.

Conclusions:

  • Holistic approaches and early intervention are vital for PD.
  • Strategically planned MC interventions and practitioner observations foster longitudinal PD improvements.
  • Nationwide implementation is recommended to enhance lifelong MC.
