favorite color and why? Do you think that simple tasks might be biased by your preferences? Find out in this science project if your color preferences will bias your fine motor skills when doing quick‚ repetitive tasks. Objective In this science project you will test whether color preference will affect repetitive tasks that require fine motor coordination‚ like picking up small objects very quickly. Do Preferences Bias Our Choices? Introduction What does it mean to have a favorite color? It

Fine motor Fine motor Skills are very little but develop gradually as the baby grows ‚ . When a baby is born they have a grasp reflex which disappears after a few weeks this set of reflexes the grasp reflex where you put your fingers against the baby’s palms and the baby grasps them tightly ‚ Reflexes help babies to survive until they gain control of their body and can make movements for themselves the baby’s hands are usually curled for at least three weeks and at this stage the baby’s hands begin

Environmental factors effecting motor skill development Child development is defined as to how a child ables itself to complete more difficult tasks as they grow in age. Development is often confused with growth‚ which refers to a child’s tendency to grow bigger in size. Parents can become concerned easily when a child’s developmental skills take longer then the “normal” or when pressures of milestones are not satisfied “on time”. Developmental milestones are functioning tasks or skills that should occur at

Physical Development The two main areas of physical development are gross & fine motor skills. Gross motor skills use the larger muscles in the body like arms & legs. Rolling over‚ crawling‚ walking‚ running and jumping are all gross motor skills. Fine motor skills use the smaller muscles in the body‚ like fingers & toes. Writing‚ painting‚ pointing‚ grasping and reaching are examples of fine motor skills. Fine motor skills alsto eye coordination. Activities to promote Physical Development

Arm and leg movements are jerky and uncontrolled. There is almost no heads lag in sitting position. Babies start using the palmer grasp and can transfer objects from hand to hand. Fine motor skills: Babies turn their head towards the light and stares at bright or shiny objects. Babies watch their hands and plays

Motor development (consisting of similar reach-to-grasp movements‚ goal-directed movements‚ proprioceptive sensitivity‚ and even neuromotor development in general) continues to develop throughout childhood and adolescence. Several studies have been done to evaluate at what age certain abilities develop‚ and also at what age they improve in accuracy. In a study by Largo‚ Caflisch and Hug (2001)‚ children between the ages of 5 and 18 years were timed during 10 distinct motor tasks of varying

Motor Learning in Occupational Therapy Even though the motor learning process is commonly over looked in day to day life‚ without motor learning we would not have reasoning for the things we do. Research on motor learning makes it possible to figure out how to learn an action in the most effective way. Naturally‚ we learn to utilize our motor skills in our occupations.
