After the first publication of the Table of the Development of psychological Functions in application within Rhythmics in the research report Rhythmik als Movens der Entwicklung der psychischen Funktionen (Garnitschnig, Karl & Neira Zugasti, Helga, Vienna 2006), an updated version of this same table including additional explanations will be presented with 2021 in cooperation with Christoph Falschlunger.

The theoretical basis as well as the detailed handling of the developmental grid can be found in the following .pdf files and in the youtube video:
