Abstract: Preschool children's control of motor movements and the effects ofdifferent verbal instructions on the control of motor movements are dis-cussed through the experiment in this paper. The conclusions are as fol-lows: The ability of children's control of motor movements increase gradu-ally. Different verbal instructions have different influences on preschoolchildren's control of motor movements. Under the conditions of the ex-periment on preschool children (3 years and 11 months old to 6 years and4 months old), the adult's verbal instruction during the children's activityis most effective on children's control of motor movements. But the eff-ect does not improve significantly with children's growth. The influenceof children's verbal self instruction on their control of motor movements increases rapidly, but it does not reach the level of adult verbal instruc-tion. No significant sex difference has been found in this experiment.There are still some uncertain questions. This paper suggests that early child education should pay attention tothe training of the control of motor movements. Children's self-controlmay be exercised by improving the abilities of children's verbal self ins-truction.
