Flexibility in the Development of Action

Year: 2008

Type: book-chapter

Abstract: This chapter has two major aims. The first is to describe flexibility in motor action. Balance and locomotion in infants are used as a test case for understanding three aspects of behavioral flexibility— adaptive motor decisions, modification of ongoing activity, and new means to achieve a goal. The second aim is to illuminate the links between flexibility and development.
