Influence of specific training on spatio-temporal parameters at the onset of goal-directed reaching in infants: a controlled trial
BACKGROUND: There is evidence that long-term experience can promote functional changes in infants. However, much remains unknown about how a short-term experience affects performance of a task. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to investigate the influence of a single training session at the onset of goal-directed reaching on the spatio-temporal parameters of reaching and whether there are differences in the effects of training across different reaching positions. METHOD: Thirty-three infants were divided into three groups: 1) a control group; 2) a group that was reach trained in a reclined po...
