Motor development: A hypothesis and a simulation concerning voluntary reaching in infancy
TLDR
In this paper, a hypothesis concerning the development of voluntary reaching in the infant is proposed and tested by means of a computer simulation, the theoretical problem of the control of arm movements is analyzed and possible control strategies are considered.About:

Variability and the development of skilled actions.
TL;DR: The results of two experiments on the acquisition of a skilled action by children support the argument that with development the action becomes increasingly consistent at the macrostructure level and that this is achieved by maintaining variability at the microst structure level.

Modularity and hierarchical organization of action programs in children's acquisition of graphic skills.
TL;DR: The organization of actions is based on modules in memory as a result of practice, easing the demand of performing more complex actions, if this modularization occurs, the elements of the module must remain invariant in new tasks.

Resolved Motion Rate Control of Manipulators and Human Prostheses
TL;DR: The kinematics of remote manipulators and human prostheses is analyzed and suggests solutions to problems of coordination, motion under task constraints, and appreciation of forces encountered by the controlled hand.

Rhythmical stereotypies in normal human infants
TL;DR: Naturalistic, longitudinal observations of 20 normal infants biweekly during their first year showed that they performed a great quantity and variety of rhythmical and highly stereotyped behaviours, which are proposed to be manifestations of incomplete cortical control of endogenous patterning in maturing neuromuscular pathways.
