These results were also extracted from
the analysis of data:
- No significant relationship between
weight, height, duration of attention in the center and increase
of fine motor skills was noted in the experimental group.
- Increase of fine motor skills in two
groups was similar.
- There was a significant difference
between the average speed of right-hand skill in the two age
groups in the experimental group (P£0/04).
- The increase in the fine motor skills
of the two sexes groups was similar.
- There were significant differences
between the average speed of left-hand skills in the two sexes
in the experimental group (P£0/02).
Discussion
The results show that plays facilitates the development of hand-hand,
hand-eye coordination and speed of hand skills. Play promotes
specific features, i.e. concentration, positive motivation and
enjoyment, and has a particular effect on the limbic system,
which in turn has a role in the performance of motor objectives.
Therefore in this section a brief account of the activity of
the limbic system and its role on planning and learning of motor
activities will be discussed to highlight the importance of
play in the improvement of fine motor skills. The activity of
the limbic system and its role in the development of processes
such as sensory-motor organization has been studied in the past
decade. The relationship between emotional-affective, sensory-motor
and other functional systems is considered more important than
before. The limbic system is connected with the reticular system
and is very complicated with many connecting fibers, as a result
any stimulation in this system will result in a durable and
established effect.

Parts of the limbic system such as the
hipocampus, amigdala and mamillary bodies, have particular roles
for example the amigdala with its many connections with other
parts of the limbic system is involved in the onset of the level
of motivation and emotion and assists the process of learning.
The hipocampus and mamillary bodies have important roles in
both short term and long term memory. The hipocampus has a basic
role in storing information and in learning. It functions by
generating stimulation, which changes short term memory to long
term memory. The hipocampus generates a kind of signal which
is sent to the long-term memory and gives the command for storage.
Based on the experience the hippocampus determines what should
be learned and memorized.
Motivation, awareness and concentration
are three important factors for learning which appear during
play. This process is mediated by the limbic system, especially
the amigdala. Considering that the emotions have an effect on
the limbic system, the role of emotive learning through play,
which has a powerful reinforcing effect, can not be ignored
in intervention. It can be interpreted
as follows:
- Motor responses are the result of
the effect of the limbic system on the motor control system
and not the motor control system alone.
- Hypothalamus and the limbic system
are specifically involved in the emotive nature of the sensory
feelings and whether the feelings are pleasant or not
