Development of Hand to Mouth Coordination in Infancy

Download document

Description

Hand to mouth motor movement is critical in the feeding and soothing of infants, but little is known about how this skill develops. Besides our knowledge that infants can perform smooth movement from hand to mouth by the age of 4-5 months (Lew & Butterworth 1997), we do not know how infants gain accuracy in this skill.
