“…A relationship between 12-month-old infant's predictive gaze and immediate prior experience of executing reaching responses to objects has also been demonstrated (Cannon, Woodward, Gredeback, von Hofsten, & Turek, 2012). Further, developmental perspectives have confirmed that infants' motor experience determines the movements they most accurately predict (Stapel, Hunnius, Meyer, & Bekkering 2016). With adults, Ambrosini et al (2011) showed that predictive saccades were biased toward the object that matched the size of the actor's grip.…”

Despite considerable interest in both action perception and social attention over the last 2 decades, there has been surprisingly little investigation concerning how the manual actions of other humans orient visual attention. The present review draws together studies that have measured the orienting of attention, following observation of another's goal-directed action. Our review proposes that, in line with the literature on eye gaze, action is a particularly strong orienting cue for the visual system. However, we additionally suggest that action may orient visual attention using mechanisms, which gaze direction does not (i.e., neural direct mapping and corepresentation). Finally, we review the implications of these gaze-independent mechanisms for the study of attention to action. We suggest that our understanding of attention to action may benefit from being studied in the context of joint action paradigms, where the role of higher level action goals and social factors can be investigated.

“…In accordance with these findings, we showed in a recent study that infants who were proficient crawlers but inexperienced walkers were more accurate in visually predicting the timing of other infants' crawling compared with walking. Toddlers and adults who were experienced in both, walking and crawling, performed equally well for both observed actions [99].…”

From early in life, infants watch other people's actions. How do young infants come to make sense of actions they observe? Here, we review empirical findings on the development of action understanding in infancy. Based on this review, we argue that active action experience is crucial for infants' developing action understanding. When infants execute actions, they form associations between motor acts and the sensory consequences of these acts. When infants subsequently observe these actions in others, they can use their motor system to predict the outcome of the ongoing actions. Also, infants come to an understanding of others' actions through the repeated observation of actions and the effects associated with them. In their daily lives, infants have plenty of opportunities to form associations between observed events and learn about statistical regularities of others' behaviours. We argue that based on these two forms of experience-active action experience and observational experience-infants gradually develop more complex action understanding capabilities.

“…Understanding these beliefs and parental practices related to the motor behavior in the first year of life is fundamental, considering that, in this phase, the motor development directly influences the other domains of childhood development (7)(8)(9).…”

Parental practices and beliefs on motor development in the first year of life

Introduction:In the child's first year of life, motor development is critical for the other areas of child development. Beliefs and parenting practices influence the parents' care and encouragement of their children, reflecting in their motor development; however, the Brazilian literature on this subject is scarce. Objective: to characterize the parental practices and beliefs associated with motor development in the first year of life; and to verify if practices and beliefs are interrelated. Methods: Two questionnaires were developed and applied, one about parenting practices and the other about parental beliefs on motor development in the first year life, to 27 caregivers of children between 12 and 24 months of age, who participated in an aquatic stimulation program. The agreement between practices and beliefs was verified by a graphical method, based on the transformation of ordinal scores to an interval scale using Rasch analysis. Results: The participants had higher levels of education and economic status. They reported a variety of practices focused on the motor development of their children, such as family interaction through playing, toy offers, lap time and free movement space. Conclusion: Most of the practices were based on parental beliefs, for some activities, however, beliefs and practices diverged, demonstrating the complexity inherent to the formation of parental beliefs.
