“…The second paradigm assessed the ability to follow the point and gaze gesture of an experimenter and the third paradigm assessed the ability to extract the invariant form of an object that was presented in multiple sizes, orientations, and colors. Consistent with the Campos et al (2009) findings, the infants showed marked improvements on each of the spatial-cognitive paradigms following the acquisition of crawling, which occurred at an average age of 19.6 months, well after typically-developing infants begin to crawl. In addition, we have also noted already that infants who engage in effortful forms of locomotion, like belly crawling, don't appear to profit, in terms of psychological consequences, from their locomotor experience.…”

“…However, they also appear to search for communicative signals from the experimenter. This search is likely related to their ability to follow the referential gestural communication of an experimenter (e.g., Campos et al, 2009) and increased distal communication with the parent after the onset of locomotion (Campos et al, 2000). The importance of social communication in the A not B error has recently been highlighted by an experiment showing that perseverative search errors are considerably reduced when communication between the experimenter and infant is minimized (Topál et al, 2008).…”

The psychological revolution that follows the onset of independent locomotion in the latter half of the infant's first year provides one of the best illustrations of the intimate connection between action and psychological processes. In this paper, we document some of the dramatic changes in perception-action coupling, spatial cognition, memory, and social and emotional development that follow the acquisition of independent locomotion. We highlight the range of converging research operations that have been used to examine the relation between locomotor experience and psychological development, and we describe recent attempts to uncover the processes that underlie this relation. Finally, we address three important questions about the relation that have received scant attention in the research literature. These questions include: (1) What changes in the brain occur when infants acquire experience with locomotion? (2) What role does locomotion play in the maintenance of psychological function? (3) What implications do motor disabilities have for psychological development? Seeking the answers to these questions can provide rich insights into the relation between action and psychological processes and the general processes that underlie human development.

“…To date, only a few studies have examined populations at risk for motor delays, but they generally indicate that these links are robust in the face of early delays. Thus, for example, in a study of a group of infants with Spina Bifida between the ages of 8.5 and 13.5 months, relations were observed between prone progression and communication similar to those identified in work with TD infants (Campos, Anderson, & Telzrow, 2009), and overall delays in language in children with Spina Bifida relative to TD infants have been reported from 6 – 36 months (Lomax-Bream et al, 2007). A study by Suttora & Salerni (2012) with preterm infants is the only other study examining such links.…”

Infants' advances in locomotion relate to advances in communicative development. However, little is known about these relations in infants at risk for delays in these domains and whether they may extend to earlier achievements in gross motor development in infancy. We examined whether advances in sitting and prone locomotion are related to communicative development in infants who have an older sibling with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and are at risk for motor and communication delays (heightened-risk; HR). We conducted a longitudinal study with 37 HR infants who did not receive an ASD diagnosis at 36 months. Infants were observed monthly between the ages of 5 and 14 months. We assessed gross motor development using the Alberta Infant Motor Scales (AIMS) and recorded ages of onset of verbal and nonverbal communicative behaviors. Results indicated increased presence of early gross motor delay from 5 to 10 months. In addition, there were positive relations between sitting and gesture and babble onset and between prone development and gesture onset. Thus, links between gross motor development and communication extend to at-risk development and provide a starting point for future research on potential cascading consequences of motor advances on communication development.

“…Several studies have shown that locomotor experiences facilitate the development of joint attention skills in typically developing infants (e.g., Campos, Kermoian, Witherington, Chen, & Dong, ; Tao & Dong, ) suggesting major implications for infants with locomotor delay. Until now, only few studies tested the consequences of the link between joint attention skills and locomotor experiences in infants with locomotor delay due to spina bifida myelomeningocele and revealed deficits in joint attention skills in those infants (Campos, Anderson, & Telzrow, ; Rivera, ). However, infants with spina bifida did not only suffer from motor impairments, they also showed deficits in cognitive, language, and daily living skills (Lomax‐Bream et al, ; Lomax‐Bream, Barnes, Copeland, Taylor, & Landry, ).…”

The aim of this study was to examine the link between joint attention skills and locomotor experiences in infants with locomotor delay due to congenital idiopathic clubfoot compared to typically developing infants. Using a following of point and gaze gesture task, we repeatedly tested joint attention skills of 11 infants with congenital idiopathic clubfoot and 14 typically developing infants at the ages of 6, 9, and 12 months. Additionally, we tested all typically developing infants and eight infants treated for idiopathic clubfoot at onset of crawling on hand and knees and after they had been crawling for about 5 to 6 weeks. Our results confirmed a delayed onset of locomotion in infants treated for idiopathic clubfoot; however, our results did not indicate lower joint attention performances in those infants in general. Moreover, we found a positive effect of crawling on the development of joint attention skills in typically developing infants; however, not in infants treated for idiopathic clubfoot. Our results complement previous work by indicating that locomotor experience, especially crawling is an important, however not necessary agent for developing joint attention skills. Highlights We repeatedly tested the link between crawling experience and joint attention skills in typically developing and infants with locomotor delay due to congenital idiopathic clubfoot. We did not find poorer joint attention performances in clubfoot infants, however crawling facilitated the development of joint attention skills in typically developing infants. Results indicated that locomotor experience, especially crawling is an important, however not necessary agent for developing joint attention skills.
