  4. 22. Visual motor development in full term and preterm infants

    Author : Helena Grönqvist; Claes von Hofsten; Kerstin Rosander; Audrey van der Meer; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; infant development; smooth pursuit; eye tracking; reaching; preterm infants; Psychology; Psykologi; Psychology; Psykologi;

    Abstract : Smooth tracking and efficient reaching for moving objects require the ability to predict the velocity and trajectory of the object. This skill is important to be able to perceive human action and object motion in the world. This thesis explores early visual motor development in full term and preterm infants. READ MORE
