dynamic systems theory of motor development

What will be an ideal response?


children acquire new motor skills by combining existing skills into increasingly complex systems of action

For example, control of the head and
upper chest combine into sitting with support. Kicking, rocking on all fours, and reaching
combine to become crawling. Then crawling, standing, and stepping are united into walking

Dynamic systems theory shows us why motor development cannot be genetically determined. Because it is motivated by exploration and the desire to master new tasks, heredity can map it out only at a general level. Rather than being hardwired into the nervous system, behaviors are softly assembled, allowing for different paths to the same motor skill
