The Grammar of Action and Reversal Errors in Children's Printing.
Simner, Marvin L.
Developmental Psychology, v20 n1 p136-42 Jan 1984
Studies predictions about letter reversals made by Goodnow's "grammar of action." Two samples of right- and left-handed children in nursery school through first grade printed from memory immediately after exposure to each of 41 reversible letters and numbers. Results challenge "grammar of action" proposals about the inappropriate applications of motor rules. (Author/CB)
