A dynamical systems interpretation of epigenetic landscapes for infant motor development
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a unified dynamical systems theory of motor learning and development and addresses the normative order and timing of activities in the infant motor development sequence. The emphasis is on the role of intention in modulating the epigenetic landscapes to the emerging forms of infant motor development and how the evolution of attractor landscape dynamics in infancy arises from the multiple time scales of constraints to action. The development of prone progression in infancy is exemplified as a case study and experimental hypotheses of the theory of attractor landscape dynamics and infant motor development are provided. © 2003 Elsevier Inc.

Dynamical Systems Approach to Infant Motor Development: Implications for Epigenetic Robotics
A dynamical systems approach to motor development is presented. It highlights the challenges faced by human infants as they discover the potential of the body to perform different goal-directed actions. Some of the same challenges may face robotic systems that are modeled on epigenetic processes. The different categories of goal-directed actions, such as locomoting and ingesting foodstuffs, may...
متن کاملAn evidence based care package to improve motor skills of infants living in foster care according to integrative review approach
Background: Infancy is the most important extra uterine period of brain development. And it requires environmental stimulation for expression of the developmental capabilities. Meanwhile, due to repeated environmental disparities foster care children are at risk for developmental delay. Aim: designing evidence based care package to improve motor skills of orphan living infants according to inte...

The urban development of the city of Isfahan during the Safavid period was based on a preconceived plan and was brought to an end in a limited time. The Safavids were able to create valuable urban landscapes in the old city of Isfahan, and in this way, could assert a significant influence on the urbanism of the onward periods. In facing such master plans, as the results of an era which is consi...

Background: The first year of life is the most important period of an extra uterine brain development requires environmental stimulation for developmental capabilities expression. Mean while, due to the repeated environmental disparity, nursery children are at great risk of developmental delay. Aim: To determine the effect of an evidence-based care package on infant gross motor development. Met...
متن کاملImplications of a dynamical systems approach to understanding infant kicking behavior.
Implications of the dynamical systems approach to understanding movement dysfunction in infants are discussed. Traditional theories of motor development attribute changes in movement to the hierarchical maturation of the central nervous system. The dynamical systems approach emphasizes that movement self-organizes as the result of the interaction of the participating subsystems in developmental...
