Abstract

The development of locomotion can be described by its form (i.e., gait) and its function (i.e., mobility). Both aspects of locomotion improve with experience. Traditional treatises on infant locomotion focus on form by describing an orderly progression of postural and locomotor milestones en route to characteristic patterns of crawling and walking gait. We provide a traditional treatment of gait by describing developmental antecedents of and improvements in characteristic gait patterns, but we highlight important misconceptions inherent in the notion of "milestones". Most critically, we argue that the prevailing focus on gait and milestones fails to capture the true essence of locomotion-functional mobility to engage with the world. Thus, we also describe the development of mobility, including the use of mobility aids for support and propulsion. We illustrate how infants find individual solutions for mobility and how the ability to move cascades into other domains of development. Finally, we show how an integration of gait and mobility provides insights into the psychological processes that make locomotion functional. This article is categorized under: Psychology > Motor Skill and Performance Psychology > Development and Aging.

步态和移动能力的发展:婴儿运动的形式与功能
运动的发展可以用其形式(即步态)和功能(即移动性)来描述。运动的这两个方面都会随着经验的积累而得到改善。关于婴儿运动的传统论述侧重于形式,描述了在形成爬行和行走步态特征模式的过程中,姿势和运动里程碑的有序进展。我们对步态进行了传统的处理,描述了特征步态模式的发展前因和改进,但我们强调了 "里程碑 "概念中固有的重要误解。最关键的是,我们认为目前对步态和里程碑的关注未能抓住运动的真正本质--参与世界的功能性移动。因此,我们还描述了移动能力的发展,包括使用移动辅助工具进行支撑和推进。我们说明了婴儿是如何为移动找到个人解决方案的,以及移动能力是如何串联到其他发展领域的。最后,我们展示了步态和移动能力的整合如何为运动功能的心理过程提供洞察力。本文归类于心理学 > 运动技能与表现 心理学 > 发育与衰老。
