Peer reviewedLim, Levan; Lin, Chien-Hui; Browder, Diane M. – Education and Training in Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities, 2002
A review of applications of motion study in developmental disabilities identifies two eras of research focus in the 1990s: (1) studies establishing the effectiveness and efficiency of tasks designed with motion study principles and (2) studies examining the interaction between motion study-based task designs and other variables such as choice,…

Lin, Chien-Hui; Browder, Diane M. – Education and Training in Mental Retardation, 1990
The engineering technique of motion study was evaluated as a means to identify efficient movements and improve the productivity rates for three severely retarded adults performing a mailing task. After receiving training on the most efficient movements, subjects improved production rates and maintained the improved rates. (DB)
