The Development of Infants' Reaches for Stationary and Moving Targets.
Wentworth, Naomi; Benson, Janette B.; Haith, Marshall M.
Child Development, v71 n3 p576-601 May-Jun 2000
Examined organization of 5.5, 8.5, and 11.5-month-olds' reaching skill for stationary and moving targets. Found that infants of all ages made anticipatory adjustments of hand alignment; effectiveness of these adjustments improved with age. Regardless of age, infants used dynamic information from spinning and oscillating targets to update ongoing reaches, but how infants used this information was related to age. (Author/KB)
