Motor Development in Children

Abstract

The author tries to trace empirically the multifaced variables influencing the motorial development. Inside a group of hearing impaired children (N = 183) two subgroups of extreme cases are formed, basing on results of K rper-Koordinationstest f r Kinder. Motorically very strong children and motorically very weak children (N = 86) are compared on a variety of variables in the organic, demographic, communicative and psycho-dynamic areas. Indications are that children from the two groups differe in respect of their neurological status and pedagogically allowed independence.
