A study published in the March 1938 issue of Child Development.
The interest which led to this study arose from observing, over a period of years, a gradual diminishing of well-coordinated movement in young children. The children were attending nursery groups in progressive schools. At the age of two, when they entered school, they apparently possessed a degree of physical coordination which by the end of the third year had notably diminished, by the end of the fourth year this coordination had given way to definite well-established postural habits - rigidly fixed positions of certain parts of the body. These habits inspire the question: Is their presence related, as it seems to be, to the disappearance of the smooth and harmonious flow of movement which the two-year-olds possessed? | |
