Effective Action by Infants to Contact Objects by Reaching and Leaning.
McKenzie, B. E.; And Others
Child Development, v64 n2 p415-29 Apr 1993
Two experiments found that (1) by age 8 months infants perceived that leaning extends their effective reaching space to grasp objects; (2) by 10 months they perceived the effective limits of leaning and reaching; and (3) by 12 months they began to perceive how this space may be extended by a mechanical aid.
