Specialization of the motor system in typically developing infants and infants with Down syndrome

2017-01-01

Abstract excerpt

A growing body of evidence suggests that, compared to later in development, the infant brain starts out less specialized, producing more widespread activation in response to stimuli. Such theorizing has hitherto been mainly applied to perceptual and socio-cognitive development. In this thesis, I investigate whether a similar process of gradual specialization operates in motor development in infancy. I examine whet...
