The Structuring of Neonatal Arm Movements.
von Hofsten, Claes; Ronnqvist, Louise
Child Development, v64 n4 p1046-57 Aug 1993
The organization and structuring of spontaneous arm movements of eight neonates were studied quantitatively, with each movement divided into an acceleration phase and a deceleration phase. Found that the movements of the two arms were coupled in all three dimensions of space and had a tendency to follow the body's longitudinal axis. (MDM)
