From Walking to Running: Applying a Dynamical Systems Approach to the Development of Locomotor Skills.
Whitall, Jill; Getchell, Nancy
Child Development, v66 n5 p1541-53 Oct 1995
The locomotor skills of walking and running were compared in newly running infants at 5.5, 7.5, and 9.5 months of independent walking, and then again at 3 years of age. Collective variables showed transitional forms over the first few months of running, indicating a relatively continuous change across the two gait forms. (MDM)
