This session discusses what current research does and does not say about how motor experience interacts with cognitive development in infants and young children with typical and atypical development. Topics include: supine reaching and grasping, kicking, sitting and reaching, crawling, walking, vision and visual perception, spatial memeory, object permanence, and age of acquisition. Suggestions for applying principles of neuroplasticity to increase the effectiveness of intervention, focusing on early power mobility and treadmill-based and overground training, are presented.
