Crawling versus Walking Infants' Perception of Affordances for Locomotion over Sloping Surfaces.

Adolph, Karen E.; And Others

Child Development, v64 n4 p1158-74 Aug 1993

Examined the behavior of 8.5-month-old crawling infants and 14-month-old walking toddlers in ascending and descending sloping walkways. Both groups overestimated their ability to ascend slopes. Toddlers hesitated most before descending 10 and 20 degree slopes, whereas infants hesitated most before descending 30 and 40 degree slopes. (MDM)
