Development of rapid, online motor control in children

运动是幼儿发展对世界的理解的主要手段。本项目所描述的研究将为儿童运动技能的发展和运动障碍的潜在原因提供重要的见解。特别是，我们的目标是了解儿童的思想和行动是如何协调的，支持他们进行更有效运动的能力。因此，我们的工作将为运动教育家和物理治疗师的培训和实践提供信息，超越临床理论的一些神话。这项工作将对识别和训练有运动障碍风险的儿童具有重要意义。

Movement is the primary means by which young children develop understanding of the world. The studies described in this project will provide important insights into the development of movement skill in children and the underlying causes of motor impairment. In particular we aim to understand how thought and action are coordinated in children, supporting the ability to perform more efficient movements. Hence, our work will inform the training and practice of movement educators and physical therapists, transcending some of the myths of clinical theory. This work will have important implications for identifying and training children at risk for motor impairment.
