Age-Related Differences in the Preparatory Processes of Motor Programming.
Olivier, Isabelle; Audiffren, Michel; Ripoll, Hubert
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v69 n1 p49-65 Apr 1998
Investigated mechanisms underlying age-related differences in information processing for production of motor responses, especially development of feedforward mechanisms. Studied 6-, 8-, 10-, and 22-year olds under two conditions: without advance information on movement to be made, and with advanced information on movement. Found beyond 6 years of age, children are capable of using information to prepare movement in advance. (EV)
