Abstract
"The tremor of the outstretched hand has been recorded in 287 children. The predominant frequency of the tremor up to the age of 9 years is about 6 c./sec; thereafter the frequency changes fairly abruptly, and by the ages of 16 years most children have a tremor frequency of 10 c./sec. The significance of the observations in relation to the mechanism of physiological tremor is discussed.".Keywords
