Popis: In this study, infants reached for toys with their feet weeks before using their hands. These results suggest that, contrary to long-held beliefs, early leg movements can be precisely controlled, the development of skilled reaching need not involve lengthy practice, and that early motor behaviors need not develop in a strict cephalocaudal pattern.
