Despite a considerable body of knowledge existing in the field of human behavioral development the exact role of movement and physical activities in this complex process is still some how unclear. This article is an attempt to explain the valuable contribution of the movement and physical activity on the human total development by focusing on cognition.
In order to explain this interesting phenomenon the author has attempted to review some papular and important theories offered by piaget, Kephart, Delacato, and Hebb. A brief review of these theories indicates that movement experiences could provide an important basis for cognitive development. Furder more, it is argued that there is a bilaterel relationship between movement and cognitive development.
