Journal ArticleDOI
Temporal discrimination increases in precision over development and parallels the development of numerosity discrimination
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that between 6 and 10 month of age temporal discrimination increases in precision such that by 10 months of age infants succeed at discriminating a 2:3 ratio, a ratio that 6-month-old infants were unable to discriminate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Teach to reach: The effects of active vs. passive reaching experiences on action and perception
Klaus Libertus,Amy Needham +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that early motor training can jump-start infants' transition into reaching and inform their perception of others' actions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Limited fine motor and grasping skills in 6-month-old infants at high risk for autism.
Klaus Libertus,Klaus Libertus,Kelly A. Sheperd,Kelly A. Sheperd,Samuel W. Ross,Rebecca Landa,Rebecca Landa +6 more
TL;DR: Investigation of motor skills among 6-month-olds at increased risk (high risk) for ASD found high-risk infants exhibited less mature object manipulation in a highly structured (MSEL) context and reduced grasping activity in an unstructured (free-play) context.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reaching experience increases face preference in 3-month-old infants
Klaus Libertus,Amy Needham +1 more
TL;DR: It is reported that active, self-produced reaching experiences also increase infants' spontaneous orienting towards faces, while passive experiences do not affect orienting behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sit to Talk: Relation between Motor Skills and Language Development in Infancy
Klaus Libertus,Dominic A. Violi +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the onset of independent sitting may initiate a developmental cascade that results in increased language learning opportunities and how infants’ early motor skills can be assessed remotely using videoconference is demonstrated.
