Synopsis

Infants master crawling and walking in varied environments while their bodies and skills continually change. This longitudinal study examines their adaptive responses and reveals a process of differentiation and selection spurred by changes in everyday experience, body dimensions, and locomotor proficiency. The findings indicate that infants learn to gauge their abilities "on-line" as they encounter new situations.

From the Back Cover

This Monograph presents a new view of locomotor development-the processes involved in acquiring adaptive mobility. We report a longitudinal investigation of infants' ability to adapt movements to variations in the terrain and to changes in their physical capabilities.
