Crawling experience was recently linked to crawling and walking infants’ avoidance of falling on real and water cliffs, whereas walking experience had no effect on walkers’ avoidance behavior (Burnay et al., 2021). In the current study, the behavior of 25 infants was analyzed on the Real Cliff/Water Cliff apparatus using a longitudinal study design. Infants were tested as experienced crawlers (M_crawling = 2.93 months, SD = 1.07), novice walkers (M_walking = 0.68 months, SD = 0.29), and experienced walkers (M_walking = 4.90 months, SD = 0.92). Infants avoided falling on both cliffs when tested as experienced crawlers and their behavior was not different when tested as novice or experienced walkers. These findings confirmed the effect of crawling experience on crawling and walking infants’ avoidance of falls from heights and into water and the transfer of perceptual learning from crawling to walking postures.

经验丰富的爬行者即使在走路时也能避免真正的落水

爬行经验最近与爬行和步行婴儿避免跌倒在真实悬崖和水崖上有关，而步行经验对步行者的避免行为没有影响（Burnay 等，2021）。在当前的研究中，使用纵向研究设计在 Real Cliff/Water Cliff 装置上分析了 25 名婴儿的行为。婴儿被测试为有经验的爬行者（M_爬行= 2.93 个月，SD = 1.07）、新手步行者（M_步行= 0.68 个月，SD = 0.29）和有经验的步行者（M_步行= 4.90 个月，SD= 0.92）。当作为经验丰富的爬行者进行测试时，婴儿避免跌倒在两个悬崖上，并且在作为新手或有经验的步行者进行测试时，他们的行为没有什么不同。这些发现证实了爬行经验对爬行和步行婴儿避免从高处和水中跌倒以及感知学习从爬行到步行姿势的转移的影响。
