Is motor development more or less restricted in traditional cultures/developing countries as compared to developed countries? Why? How does this difference impact the growth of motor skills?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Infants and toddlers in traditional cultures spend less of their waking hours on the ground crawling and walking. They are often swaddled on their mothers' backs and carried around for much of the day as she works. The main reason is that there are more dangers in traditional cultures, such as open fires used for cooking, cliffs, or livestock that could injure them. They still achieve their motor milestones at about the same time as their counterparts from OECD countries; a finding that suggests that nature may be more influential than nurture in shaping motor development.
