An update of the development of motor behavior
This primer describes research on the development of motor behavior. We focus on infancy
when basic action systems are acquired—posture, locomotion, manual actions, and facial …

Gahvora cradling in Tajikistan: Cultural practices and associations with motor development
In Tajikistan, infants are bound supine in a “gahvora” cradle that severely restricts
movement. Does cradling affect motor development and body growth? In three studies …

Variations in infants' physical and social environments shape spontaneous locomotion.
Independent locomotion is associated with a range of positive developmental outcomes, but
unlike cognitive, linguistic, and social skills, acquiring motor skills requires infants to …

Infant locomotion shapes proximity to adults during everyday play in the US
Learning to walk expands infants' access to the physical environment and prompts changes
in their communicative behaviors. However, little is known about whether walking also …

Sitting capacity and performance in infants with typical development and infants with motor delay
Aims Infants with neuromotor disorders demonstrate delays in sitting skills (decreased
capacity) and are less likely to maintain independent sitting during play than their peers with …

Bidding on the go: Links between walking, social actions, and caregiver responses in infant siblings of children with autism spectrum disorder
The development of walking is associated with a shift in how neurotypical infants initiate
social interactions. Walking infants are more likely to locate objects in distant places, carry …

The development of gait and mobility: Form and function in infant locomotion
The development of locomotion can be described by its form (ie, gait) and its function (ie,
mobility). Both aspects of locomotion improve with experience. Traditional treatises on infant …
