Abstract
This chapter is concerned with some general aspects of the ontogenetic development of motor planning and control in the child. According to classical theories on human development, psychologists describe the age of 2 years as a transition between two main steps in child development. However, this age can in no case be considered as an “endpoint” in the perceptuomotor development, nor as a “startingpoint.”
