“…It is known that synaptogenesis continues throughout the life of every healthy individual, but an explosion of the synapse formation can be observed during critical stages of development. For instance, the development of emotional control skills peaks around the age of one and starts slowly declining after two, while development of understanding of the meaning of symbols peaks slightly later, around the age of two (Illingworth 2013;Birch et al 2013). Together with synapse formation, the opposite process of elimination of the synapses occurs.…”

“…Robinson en Goodway (2009) se studie rapporteer dat die swak omstandighede waaraan kinders vanuit minderbevoorregte gemeenskappe in hulle studie blootgestel was, tot swak motoriese behendigheid bygedra het, en dat hierdie kinders gevolglik as risiko kandidate vir ontwikkelingsagterstande en gesondheidsprobleme beskou word. Illingworth (1983) is voorts van mening dat kinders uit arm omgewings minder aan visuele stimulering blootgestel word. Richmond en Aliotti (1977) se navorsing bevestig dat bevoorregte kinders beter vaar in die uitvoer van perseptueelmotoriese take as minderbevoorregte kinders, terwyl Kattouf en Steele (2000) en Richmond en Norton (1973) ŉ verband tussen lae sosio-ekonomiese status en visueel-perseptuele agterstande bevestig.…”

Literature indicates a negative impact of socio-economic circumstances on gross and fine motor development of children. The aim of this study was to analyse the possible differences between physical and motor development of pre-school children within poor and higher socio-economic status (SES). A group of 67 children between four months and 71 months were identified according to a random stratified sample of 50 families from a poor socio-economic background and were evaluated using measurements of height, weight and skinfolds (triceps, subscapular and calf). The Peabody Developmental Motor Scales -2 (PDMS-2) was used to determine motor developmental status. The same procedure was followed with a group of 34 preschool children (age = 48-73 months) from higher socio-economic status. Covariance of analysis, adjusted for age, showed that children from higher SES performed predominantly better regarding some motor skills compared to the children from poor SES. Statistical and practical significant differences (p ≤ 0.05, Eta 2 > 0.01) that were found indicated poorer development in the poor SES group regarding their locomotor, visual motor and fine motor standard scores, percentiles and gradings, and regarding their gross motor quotient, although the results indicated that the gross motor development of children living in higher SES also needs attention. The balance and object control of the low SES group were however better (p<0.05, Eta 2 > 0.01) compared to the high SES group. These results substantiate that the motor development of children living in poor socio-economic conditions are hampered by their environment, and that they should receive additional attention to prevent deficiencies in this regard.
