Treadmill-Elicited Stepping in Seven-Month-Old Infants.
Thelen, Esther
Child Development, v57 n6 p1498-506 Dec 1986
Videotape recordings were made of the kick and step movements of six infants seven months of age, while they were in supine and upright positions on a stationary and moving treadmill. When placed on a moving treadmill, infants performed alternating stepping movements with many characteristics of mature walking. Implications are discussed. (RH)
