“…This is the first evidence, to our knowledge, for a statistically significant improvement in hand localization ability in childhood when proprioception is added to vision von Hofsten & Rosblad, 1988;van Beers et al, 1996;King et al, 2010). The improvement was modest, and the present study may have been able to measure it because we used a relatively large number of trials per condition, and estimated distributions of points using a robust procedure (Rousseeuw, 1984).…”

“…found a trend for better target localization given vision and proprioception together vs. vision alone from 6 years, but the difference was not statistically significant. von Hofsten & Rosblad (1988), testing 270 4-to 12-year-olds, found performance with vision and proprioception together largely indistinguishable from performance with vision alone.…”

“…These studies used 3 trials per condition , 8 trials per condition (von Hofsten & Rosblad, 1988), 5 trials per condition , and 16 trials per condition (King et al, 2010). By contrast a study with adults who were given 30 to 40 trials per condition found robust advantages for vision and proprioception together compared with either cue alone .…”

“…Potentially the most powerful methodology for studying the perceived position of the hand in space is the matching technique (von Hofsten & Rosblad, 1988;Wann, 1991). This involves presenting the subject with a target location on a solid surface.…”

This paper reports a series of experiments ofthe perceived position of the hand in egocentric space. The experiments focused on the bias in the proprioceptively perceived position of the hand at a series of locations spanning the midline from left to right. Perceived position was tested in a matching paradigm, in which subjects indicated the perceived position of a target, which could have been either a visual stimulus or their own fingertip, by placing the index finger of the other hand in the corresponding location on the other side of a fixed surface. Both the constant error, or bias, and the variable error, or consistency of matching attempts, were measured. Experiment 1 showed that (1) there is a far-left advantage in matching tasks, such that errors in perceived position are significantly lower in extreme-left positions than in extreme-right positions, and (2) there is a strong hand-bias effect in the absence of vision, such that the perceived positions of the left and right index fingertips held in the same actual target position in fact differ significantly. Experiments 2 and 3 demonstrated that this hand-bias effect is genuinely due to errors in the perceived position ofthe matched hand, and not to the attempt at matching it with the other hand. These results suggest that there is no unifying representation of egocentric, proprioceptive space. Rather, separate representations appear to be maintained for each effector. The bias of these representations may reflect the motor function of that effector.The representation of space in the nervous system has been a central topic in modem neuroscience and in psychology (Paillard, 1991). In the human literature, much interest has focused on distortions of spatial representation, whereby the perceived positions of objects do not correspond to their actual positions. Much of this literature has been driven by the topic of spatial neglect, in which the left side ofspace appears to be lost, compressed, distorted, or attenuated following lesions of the right posterior parietal cortex (Bisiach, 1993). Studies of neglect have led several researchers to try to identify the basic organization of normal egocentric space. For example, the body midline has been held to define a primary axis of egocentric space (Jeannerod, 1988). In fact, several studies ofnormal human performance point to small distortions in the perception of left-right location in egocentric space, reminiscent of the more dramatic effects seen in patients with left neglect. Thus, Pierson-Savage and Bradshaw (1987) have described a far-left disadvantage, whereby stimuli presented in extreme-left space appear to be processed less efficiently than other stimuli. However, since the processing required in their task (speeded responses to a vibrotactile stimulation to the tip of the index finger positioned at various points along the left-right axis) was not intrinsically spatial, their data cannot conclusively show that far-left disadvantage is due to impoverished spatial representation of the far left of egoc...

Kinesthetic Development

Kinesthesis is one's body sense that is derived from multiple receptors throughout the body. Infantile reflexes elicited prenatally indicate that at least some kinesthetic receptors are functional before birth. The muscle spindle receptors that play the major role in position and movement sense are mature by 3 years of age. Kinesthetic perception is also functional at birth, yet proprioceptive sensitivity and precision, tactile localization, and various aspects of body awareness develop in childhood, with large improvement by about 8 years and smaller refinements extending into adolescence. Perceptual intermodal integration (sensory integration) is also functional at birth. Amodal attributes of objects and events can be transferred between vision and kinesthesis during the first year of life. As with aspects of kinesthetic development, large improvements in integration are seen during childhood, with smaller refinements into adolescence.
