Cutaneous reflex responses from tibialis anterior muscle following electrical stimulation were recorded for 39 normal children between the ages of one and 16 years. In the first year of life stimulation produces a monophasic excitatory reflex response at short latency; in the second year it produces long- as well as short-latency increases in activity. Maturation of reflex function continues during the school years, with progressive emphasis on long- rather than short-latency components. These results are discussed in relation to mechanisms underlying the acquisition of motor skills during childhood.
对39名年龄在1至16岁之间的正常儿童记录了电刺激后胫骨前肌的皮肤反射反应。在生命的第一年，刺激在短潜伏期产生单相兴奋性反射反应；在第二年，它产生长潜伏期和短潜伏期的活动增加。在学龄期，反射功能持续成熟，逐渐更强调长潜伏期成分而非短潜伏期成分。结合儿童期运动技能习得的潜在机制对这些结果进行了讨论。
