Change in action: how infants learn to walk down slopes.
A critical aspect of perception-action coupling is the ability to modify ongoing actions in accordance with variations in the environment. Infants' ability to modify their gait patterns to walk down shallow and steep slopes was examined at three nested time scales. Across sessions, a microgenetic training design showed rapid improvements after the first session in infants receiving concentrated...
متن کاملPerceiving "Walk-on-able" Slopes
Prospective control of walking and running requires perceiving sloping surfaces that can and cannot support these activities. Two experiments on slant perception were conducted, motivated by the notion of geographical slant rather than optical slant, and by an affordance based description of surface layout. In Experiment 1, participants standing on a horizontal surface (the ground) adjusted the...

The visual world of young infants, in contrast, is often fragmented and unstable, consisting not of coherent objects but rather surfaces that move in unpredictable ways. Evidence from computational modeling and from experiments with human infants highl...
متن کاملHow and when infants learn to climb stairs.
Seven hundred and thirty-two parents reported when and how their infants learned to climb stairs. Children typically mastered stair ascent (mean age=10.97 months) several months after crawling onset and several weeks prior to descent (mean age=12.53 months). Most infants (94%) crawled upstairs the first time they ascended independently. Most infants (76%) turned around and backed at initial des...

Abst rac t : This paper discusses the kind of in fo rmat ion that must be present in a computer program that models the l i n g u i s t i c development of a c h i l d . A three stage model is presented that character izes the development of a na tu ra l l a n guage parser in a c h i l d of ages one, one and a h a l f , and two. Some data from ch i ld ren of these ages is presented. General prob...
