“…This is why we propose to combine movement analysis with reaction times. In developmental research, movement analysis has been proven an objective, fine-grained method to assess motor development (van Schaik and Dominici, 2020 ). In particular, marker-based motion tracking systems can provide accurate measures of motor processes (van Schaik and Dominici, 2020 ).…”

Human motor skills are exceptional compared to other species, no less than their cognitive skills. In this perspective paper, we suggest that “movement matters!,” implying that motor development is a crucial driving force of cognitive development, much more impactful than previously acknowledged. Thus, we argue that to fully understand and explain developmental changes, it is necessary to consider the interaction of motor and cognitive skills. We exemplify this argument by introducing the concept of “embodied planning,” which takes an embodied cognition perspective on planning development throughout childhood. From this integrated, comprehensive framework, we present a novel climbing paradigm as the ideal testbed to explore the development of embodied planning in childhood and across the lifespan. Finally, we outline future research directions and discuss practical applications of the work on developmental embodied planning for robotics, sports, and education.

“…The major disadvantages are the high price, the system complexity, and the dependency on a known camera alignment, which makes this kind of system unsuitable for daily life situations, or rehabilitation. 1 By contrast, inertial sensors have noticeable advantages, such as their ultrasmall size, low cost, and robustness to different environments. With the rapid development of the microelectromechanical system technology, wearable sensors have become easier to apply in motion capture techniques.…”

Using inertial measurement units mounted on foot is a feasible approach to improve the positioning accuracy for the human motion capture system. This paper presents a lightweight and low cost wireless inertial motion capture system for the simultaneous reconstruction of human body attitude and displacement. First of all, the device is based on human sensor networks and distributes 15 sensor nodes on the key human limbs. Then, after an initial sensor alignment with the reduced error, a zero-speed update algorithm is used to calculate foot displacement. In addition, to constantly update the human posture information, a kind of motion reconstruction method based on the gradient descent method was used to fuse the sensor data. Finally, a new method of three-dimensional human body reconstruction is proposed, which is different from the traditional motion capture system. Through unconstrained traversal of the root, the human posture and foot trajectory are combined to realize the synchronous reconstruction of posture and displacement. It is concluded from the experiment results that the estimation errors are well controlled, and motion patterns are consistent with the actual situation.

“…Combining optical motion capture with machine learning methods of movement analysis has led to breakthroughs in dissecting the sensorimotor and cognitive processes associated with the planning and control of upper limb-reaching movements in both typical and atypical development (e.g., Cavallo et al., 2021 ; Crippa et al., 2015 ; Vabalas et al., 2020 ). However, the requirement for a highly controlled environment, together with the high costs, constrain the routine use of optical (e.g., van der Kruk and Reijne, 2018 ; van Schaik and Dominici, 2020 ) motion capture systems in developmental settings.…”
