The control of posture in newly standing infants is task dependent
چکیده انگلیسی

The postural sway patterns of newly standing infants were compared under two conditions: standing while holding a toy and standing while not holding a toy. Infants exhibited a lower magnitude of postural sway and more complex sway patterns when holding the toy. These changes suggest that infants adapt postural sway in a manner that facilitates visually fixating on and stabilizing the toy in their hand. When simply standing, infants exhibited postural sway patterns that appeared to be more exploratory in nature. Exploratory sway patterns may allow infants to learn the affordances of their new standing posture. These results demonstrate that newly standing infants are capable of task-dependent postural control.


► Postural sway was examined in newly standing infants as they held a toy.
► Infants adopt a sway pattern that facilitates interaction with the toy.
► When not holding a toy infants exhibit a more exploratory sway pattern.
