This investigation examined whether the mode of locomotion matters in how 8-, 10-, 12-, and 14-year-old children (N = 91) judge dynamic affordances in a complex perception-action task with significant safety risks. The primarily European American children in the sample came from the area of Iowa City, Iowa and were balanced for gender. The same…

Megan Hammill; Victoria Rapos; Michael Cinelli – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2024
Children tend to make more last-minute locomotor adjustments than adults when avoiding stationary obstacles. The purpose of this study was to compare avoidance behaviors of middle-aged children (10-12 years old) with young adults during a head-on collision course with an approaching virtual pedestrian. Participants were immersed in a virtual…

Arnold, Amanda J.; Claxton, Laura J. – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Learning to walk leads to an increase in language abilities; however, the underlying mechanisms accounting for this relation remain unclear. Investigating the quality of early gait control may offer some insights. The purpose of this study was to: (1) quantify how 13-month-olds (n = 39; 39% male) and 24-month-olds (n = 39; 59% male) adapt gait…

Coulter, Maura; Scanlon, Dylan; MacPhail, Ann; O'Brien, Wesley; Belton, Sarahjane; Woods, Catherine – Curriculum Studies in Health and Physical Education, 2020
Major curriculum changes have recently occurred in Ireland, including redeveloping the primary curriculum and the enactment of the Junior Cycle Framework (DES, 2015). Positive and negative experiences affect the attitudes which contribute to determining the quality of curricular experiences. Framed in the work of Fullan, M. (1991. "The New…

De Meester, An; Van Duyse, Femke; Aelterman, Nathalie; De Muynck, Gert-Jan; Haerens, Leen – Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy, 2020
Background: Research stemming from Self-Determination Theory (SDT) shows that physical education (PE) teachers who endorse an autonomy-supportive and structuring motivating style positively affect students' motivation, engagement and learning. Choice provision and positive feedback are two concrete strategies that are part of an…

Schurink, J.; Hartman, E.; Scherder, E. J. A.; Houwen, S.; Visscher, C. – Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 2012
This study examines the motor skills and executive functioning (EF) of 28 children diagnosed with pervasive developmental disorder-not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS; mean age: 10 years 6 months, range: 7-12 years; 19 boys, 9 girls) in comparison with age- and gender-matched typically developing children. The potential relationship between motor…

Tamis-LeMonda, Catherine S.; Adolph, Karen E.; Lobo, Sharon A.; Karasik, Lana B.; Ishak, Shaziela; Dimitropoulou, Katherine A. – Developmental Psychology, 2008
The social cognition and perception-action literatures are largely separate, both conceptually and empirically. However, both areas of research emphasize infants' emerging abilities to use available information--social and perceptual information, respectively--for making decisions about action. Borrowing methods from both research traditions, this…
