Numerous studies point to a link between
fine motor skills and executive functioning (EF) in 3- to 6-year-olds (e.g.,
Oberer et al., 2017; MacDonald et al., 2016); however, it is unclear if this
relation exists at younger ages. Therefore, the current project aimed to
further explore EF and fine motor skills in typically developing 2-year-olds.
Participants completed the Minnesota Executive Function Scale (MEFS), Spin the
Pots, Shape Stroop, Snack Delay, and the Fine Motor portion (FMQ) of the
Peabody Developmental Motor Scale Version-2. These findings demonstrate a link
between general EF and visual-motor integration in 2-year-olds.
