How do movements to produce letters become automatic during writing acquisition? Investigating the development of motor anticipation
Learning how to write involves the automation of grapho-motor skills. One of the factors that determine automaticity is motor anticipation. This is the ability to write a letter while processing information on how to produce following letters. It is essential for writing fast and smoothly. We investigated how motor anticipation processes build up during the period of handwriting automation. Children aged 8, 9 and 10 years had to write two letters (ll, le, ln) in cursive writing on a digitizer.
