“…It is believed that a permissive, accepting family environment contributes to children's motor development (Williams and Scott 1953). Lejarraga et al (2002) examined the psychomotor development of 3.573 boys and girls, aged 0.01-5.99 years in Argentina.…”

The process of development occurs according to the pattern established by the genetic potential and also by the influence of environmental factors. The aim of the present study was to focus on the main environmental factors affecting motor development. The review of the literature revealed that family features, such as socioeconomic status, mother's educational level, and the existence of siblings can affect children's motor competence. Preschool centers have also become important for children's development, due to the large amount of time children spend at them nowadays. Moreover, the social cultural context in which a child is reared forms certain demands for his/her motor behavior, favoring specific aspects of motor development and impairing others. A very influential factor (and consequently a very significant educational means) is the use of intervention movement programs. A developmentally adequate movement program can enhance motor development, thus preventing the long term negative consequences that an unfavorable influence of several genetic or the aforementioned environmental factors may have.

“…For example, a more permissive attitude towards child rearing has been suggested (Knobloch and Pasamanick, 1958;Williams and Scott, 1953); and Ainsworth (1967), commenting upon the findings of Geber and Dean (1964), suggested close physical contact between mother and child; lower socioeconomic class has been indicated (Williams and Scott, 1953;Pavenstedt 1965). We think that the evidence is against these explanations.…”

“…The class distribution of the three groups was similar. Following the prevailing mood, most writers have been at pains to explain the differences on any but racial grounds (Knobloch and Pasamanick, 1958;Williams and Scott, 1953;Davis and Havighurst, 1946;Ferron, 1967). On the other hand, Illingworth (1960) suggested that there may be differences in certain races.…”

“…In 1953, it was found that children from working-class families were far more agile than those from upper-class families, because the former were allowed to use the furniture to climb on, whereas the latter were often placed in playpens and were not allowed to use the furniture as play material (28).

ISSN 0803-5326 Devising effective assessment techniques and therapy for movement disorders in young children requires in-depth measures of the child's perceptuo-motor functioning. It is argued that the field of movement disorders can benefit from an ecological approach to perception and action, where perception subserves action and action influences perception. Three notions central to the ecological approach are described and illustrated with our recent research on infant and child perceptual and motor behaviour. & Cerebral palsy, ecological approach to perception and action, measuring movement disorders, neurological assessment, premature birth ALH van der Meer,
