Document Summary
The development of early hand eye coordination. The development of posture control and independent walking. Environmental constraints discussed previously: tend to dominate in phylogenetic periods, are always influential for example, child-rearing practices as, organize the action give a purpose for the rest of the system to act. How to achieve a desired orientation with the world (posture) How to move about in the environment (locomotion) How to act with and on objects in the environment (manipulation) Ends with the attainment of 2 motor milestones: visuo-motor coordination, posture and locomotion. Hand eye coordination: ability to precisely move the hand based on visual information. Prehension: specifically the act of grasping. Reaching: making a movement toward an object. Asymmetric tonic neck reflex: appears about 1 month after birth, (cid:498)disappears(cid:499) around 4 months. Movement analysis of reaching: remains a part of eye-hand coordination throughout life.
