Abstract
The aim of the study was to predict motor development using indicators from infant's early motor performance. A group of 46 infants were tested with Alberta Infant Motor Scale and were divided in two groups according to the interval time of assessment (2 and 6 months). The results for the first group revealed that supine position could predict infant's motor development after a 6 month interval for reassessment. The results for the second group revealed that supine and prone position were important indicators for predicting infants' motor development after 2 months interval for reassessment.
