A Pre‐registered sticky mittens study: active training does not increase reaching and grasping in a swedish context

Several studies have previously investigated the effects of sticky mittens training on reaching and grasping development. However, recent critique casted doubts on the robustness of the motor effect of this training. The current study presents a pre‐registered report that aimed to generalize these e...

description Several studies have previously investigated the effects of sticky mittens training on reaching and grasping development. However, recent critique casted doubts on the robustness of the motor effect of this training. The current study presents a pre‐registered report that aimed to generalize these effects to Swedish infants. Three‐month‐old infants N = 96, 51 females, mostly White middle class in Uppsala, received daily, parent‐led sticky mittens or observational training for 2 weeks or no training in 2019. Reaching and grasping abilities were assessed before and after training, using motion tracking and a 4‐step reaching task. Sticky mittens training did not facilitate successful reaching. These results indicate that beneficial motor effects of sticky mittens training did not generalize to this sample.
