Question 3

Correct Answer:

Verified

While there is some variation in the timing of motor skill development, most infants will roll over between 2 and 5 months of age, sit without support between 5 and 8 months of age, pull self to a standing position between 6 and 10 months of age, and walk independently between 11 and 15 months of age. Early motor development results from a confluence of numerous factors that include developing neural mechanisms, increases in infants' strength, posture control, balance, and perceptual skills, as well as changes in body proportions and motivation. And, as motor development progresses, infants are better able to explore and manipulate the world around them, which facilitates learning about the world.
