Abstract: The aim of this study was to determine the interrelationship of visual-motor integration, visual perception and motor coordination with object control skills in Grade 1-learners in the North-West Province of South Africa. This study is based on only the baseline data of a longitudinal study (NW-CHILD study) in progress. The Grade 1-learners (N=806) had a mean age of 6.84±0.39 years. The Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration (4th ed.) (VMI), was used to evaluate visual skills, while the Test of Gross Motor Development-2 evaluated six object control skills. There was a statistical significant (p≤0.01) association between VMI, two object control skills and total score for object control skills. Visual perception had the highest correlation with all the object control skills where a statistically significant (p≤0.05) association with five object control skills and the total score was obtained. Motor coordination had small but significant correlations with two object control skills. Understanding the influence that VMI, visual perception and motor coordination have on ball handling skills should enable practitioners to address them appropriately during the early years.

Influence of different visual perceptual constructs on academic achievement among learners in the NW-CHILD study
TL;DR: It is concluded that basic and complex visual perceptual constructs remain important for academic achievement in this age-group, while gender and socioeconomic status influence both visual perceptual abilities and academic achievement.

Longitudinal influences of socio-economic status on visual-motor integration: The North-West Child Health, Integrated with Learning and Development study
TL;DR: Age-related development and improvement of the visual-motor integration skills were reported over the three year period, however, more learners from the low SES still showed delays in these skills.

The neural and behavioural organization of goal-directed movements
Marc Jeannerod
- 01 Jan 1988
TL;DR: The author's account is based upon experimental data from human and animal work with particular emphasis on illustrative clinical cases, and concepts derived from cognitive psychology in the study of motor control have opened new fields of investigation concerning the mental representation of goal-directed movements.

Test of Gross Motor Development
TL;DR: In this paper, the examiner can assure a reliable administration of the test by following several general guidelines, such as: time requirements, equipment, and performance criteria, and testing environment.

The Biology and Evolution of Language
Philip Lieberman
- 01 Jan 1984
TL;DR: Drawing on data from anatomy, neurophysiology, physiology, and behavioral biology, Lieberman develops a new approach to the puzzle of language, arguing that it is the result of many evolutionary compromises.

Brain areas underlying visual mental imagery and visual perception: an fMRI study.
TL;DR: Although the vast majority of activated voxels were activated during both conditions, the spatial overlap was neither complete nor uniform; the overlap was much more pronounced in frontal and parietal regions than in temporal and occipital regions, which may indicate that cognitive control processes function comparably in both imagery and perception.
