  • Title: Integrating motor control and motor learning concepts with neuropsychological perspectives on apraxia and developmental dyspraxia.
    Author: Goodgold-Edwards SA, Cermak SA.
    Journal: Am J Occup Ther; 1990 May; 44(5):431-9. PubMed ID: 1693811.
    Abstract:
    This paper reviews selected pertinent literature on the learning and performance of skilled motor acts. Information on normal motor performance is integrated with that on adult apraxia and related to common problems observed in children with developmental dyspraxia. The process of motor skill acquisition is outlined, and aspects of styles of motor organization, modes of control, premovement organization, sensory organization, and analysis of the types of errors are presented. Recommendations for clinicians working with children with developmental dyspraxia are offered.
