The role of early fine and gross motor development on later motor and cognitive ability.

TL;DR: Results demonstrated that, although socio-economic status (SES) predicted fine motor performance and three of four cognitive domains at school age, gestational age was not a significant predictor of later development, and provided evidence for detecting children at risk of developmental delays or disorders with a parent report questionnaire prior to school age.
Journal ArticleDOI

Attitudinal and Behavioral Effects of Autonomous Group Working: A Longitudinal Field Study

TL;DR: In this paper, a longitudinal study of autonomous work groups at a new and an established minerals processing plant was conducted and the results of the study support the proposition that employees in auto-professionals are more likely to participate in autonomous work.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It was found that motor ability significantly accounted for variance in tasks measuring speed of performance, whereas inattention appeared to influence performance variability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Risk perception and volcanic hazard mitigation: Individual and social perspectives
