  text: '<jats:p>Pointing is one of the first conventional means of communication
    and infants have various motives for engaging in it such as imperative, declarative,
    or informative. Little is known about the developmental paths of producing and
    understanding these different motives. In our longitudinal study (N = 58) during
    the second year of life, we experimentally elicited infants’ pointing production
    and comprehension in various settings and under pragmatically valid conditions.
    We followed two steps in our analyses and assessed the occurrence of canonical
    index-finger pointing for different motives and the engagement in an ongoing interaction
    in pursuit of a joint goal revealed by frequency and multimodal utterances. For
    understanding the developmental paths, we compared two groups: typically developing
    infants (TD) and infants who have been assessed as having delayed language development
    (LD). Results showed that the developmental paths differed according to the various
    motives. When comparing the two groups, for all motives, LD infants produced index-finger
    pointing 2 months later than TD infants. For the engagement, although the pattern
    was less consistent across settings, the frequency of pointing was comparable
    in both groups, but infants with LD used less canonical forms of pointing and
    made fewer multimodal contributions than TD children.</jats:p>'

  text: <jats:p>The development of motor competencies is necessary for participation
    in the culture of sport, exercise, and physical activity, which in turn supports
    the development of a healthy lifestyle. A lack of physical activity in childhood
    and deficits in motor performance emphasize the relevance of interventions for
    promoting basic motor competencies. However, there are research desiderata with
    regard to such interventions. This article describes an intervention program for
    promoting basic motor competencies in middle childhood (around 6 to 10 years of
    age). The intervention was investigated in a longitudinal study from June 2019
    to January 2020 (n = 200; 58% girls, M = 8.84 years, SD = 0.63) at three primary
    schools. The intervention was conducted once a week in physical education (PE).
    The comparison group participated in regular PE. The intervention showed significant
    effects on basic motor competencies in object movement but not in self-movement.
    The results demonstrate that positive effects on basic motor competencies can
    be achieved with the help of a relatively simple intervention. Further longitudinal
    studies are desirable as a means of substantiating the results and developing
    evidence-based concepts to support children in their development in the best possible
    way.</jats:p>
