Motor Development and the Mind: The Potential Role of Motor Abilities as a Determinant of Aspects of Perceptual Development.
Bushnell, Emily W.; Boudreau, J. Paul
Child Development, v64 n4 p1005-21 Aug 1993

Maintains that there is a high degree of fit between the developmental sequence in which certain perceptual sensitivities unfold and the ages at which the corresponding motor abilities develop. (MDM)
