Necessary Skills for Visually-Guided Reaching
1. Perceptual skills• Object recognition• Figure-ground separation
2. Motor skills• Arm and hand coordination• Fine-motor coordination and control
3. Visual-motor integration and coordination• Visual guidance of the hand• Timing of the grasp
The Normative Sequence of Reaching
1 – 2 Months• Glance at objects when present• Begin to fixate objects for 5-10 sec• Arms not organized with vision
2 – 3 Months• Isolation of components breaks down• Focus on objects• Beginning of prehensory behavior• Raise hand towards object
3 – 4 Months• Mutual grasping, 1 or 2 hands• Sometimes turn torso towards object
4 – 5 Months• Integrated looking and grasping• “Top-level” reaching• Good grasping of object
The number of reaches at each speed and age, expressed as a proportion of the maximum number of possible reaches (3 per condition).
Type of Contact With a Moving ObjectVon Hofsten & Lindhagen (1979)
Claus von Hofsten
Type of Contact With a Moving ObjectVon Hofsten & Lindhagen (1979)
The type of contact with the object. Proportion of total number of reaches for “grasp,” “touch,” and “miss.”
Claus von Hofsten
Reaching with the hands vs. feet (Galloway & Thelen, 2004)
Esther Thelen
• Compared timing for reaching with the hands versus reaching with the feet• Tested 8-15 week olds longitudinally
(weekly)• Presented toy at midline between
shoulders, and midline of hips
• Timing of reaching with hands and feet:• Average age of first contact: Hands: 15.7
weeks; Feet: 11.7 weeks• Extended contact with object: Hands: 16,
Feet: 11.8
