Clark Whitall Quest What Is Motor Development

This article discusses the history and lessons of motor development research. It explores how early researchers studied motor development and established milestones for skills like crawling, walking, and object manipulation. The authors also discuss how more recent research has examined motor development as the product of an individual's interaction with their environment and experiences. The work emphasizes that motor skills develop through practice and experience over time rather than in strict stages.
