The article analyzes the views of domestic and foreign scientists on important aspects of learning motor actions of preschool children. Preschoolers’ movement movements are characterized as a complex educational process, during which children under the guidance of an educator acquire the necessary motor experience. The task of higher education institutions is presented as the training of a highly qualified educator who will perform professional duties at the appropriate level in the process of teaching motor actions to preschool children. The essence and content of the concepts «activity», «motor activity», «motor action» are revealed. It is determined that the necessary qualitative characteristic of motor action, the formation of which is aimed at the educational activities of the educator, is the technique of its implementation. The main types of motor skills are skills acquired during various physical exercises, including basic movements (walking, running, jumping, throwing, climbing). Conclusions. 1. Teaching preschoolers movements is a complex educational process, during which children under the guidance of an educator gain the necessary motor experience. 2. Priority is given to the activity of an educator who plans, organizes and practically carries out the teaching of educational material. 3. An important task of higher education institutions is to train a highly qualified educator who will perform professional duties at the appropriate level in the process of teaching motor actions to preschool children.

A fluency disorders prevention program for classroom use, designed to develop the feeling of fluency control in normally fluent preschool and primary grade children, is described. The program addresses the affective, behavioral, and cognitive aspects of fluency and features activities that not only develop the child’s fluency motor skills but also teach the language of fluency by developing the child’s metalinguistic skills.

A response evocation program, some principles underlying its development and administration, and a review of some clinical experiences with the program are presented. Sixty-five children with developmental articulation errors of the /ɝ/ phoneme were administered the program by one of 19 clinicians. Approximately 70% of program administrations resulted in a child emitting a good /ɝ/ within six minutes. Approximately 10% of children who were given additional training on program step failures emitted good /ɝ/'s in subsequent sessions. These preliminary observations are discussed in relation to the role of task analysis and motor skills learning principles in response evocation, clinician influences in program outcomes, and professional issues in service delivery to children with developmental articulation errors.

A missing stimulus task requires an immediate response to the omission of a regular recurrent stimulus. The task evokes a subclass of event-related potential known as omitted stimulus potential (OSP), which reflects some cognitive processes such as expectancy. The behavioral response to a missing stimulus is referred to as omitted stimulus reaction time (RT). This total RT measure is known to include cognitive and motor components. The cognitive component (premotor RT) is measured by the time from the missing stimulus until the onset of motor action. The motor RT component is measured by the time from the onset of muscle action until the completion of the response. Previous research showed that RT is faster to auditory than to visual stimuli, and that the premotor of RT to a missing auditory stimulus is correlated with the duration of an OSP. Although this observation suggests that similar cognitive processes might underlie these two measures, no research has tested this possibility. If similar cognitive processes are involved in the premotor RT and OSP duration, these two measures should be correlated in visual and somatosensory modalities, and the premotor RT to missing auditory stimuli should be fastest. This hypothesis was tested in 17 young male volunteers who performed a missing stimulus task, who were presented with trains of auditory, visual, and somatosensory stimuli and the OSP and RT measures were recorded. The results showed that premotor RT and OSP duration were consistently related, and that both measures were shorter with respect to auditory stimuli than to visual or somatosensory stimuli. This provides the first evidence that the premotor RT is related to an attribute of the OSP in all three sensory modalities.
