PSY 1000 Lecture 4: Colloquium Summary 4
Document Summary
Learning to move and moving to learn lecture. Karen e. adolph, researcher from new york university, answered the theoretical question of why babies switch from crawling to walking and how they learn during the process in her colloquium on learning to move and moving to learn . To explain the methodology used, she broke the talk into three important segments. The first was movement embodied in which she talked about how babies transition from crawling to walking. Adolph explained that this requires researchers to look at everything at once and not just isolate the biological or mental functions that allow the babies to move. Using a camera that tracked the babies" eye movements, adolph"s experiments showed that babies have an increased field of view and can see the whole room when they transition to walking. Furthermore, the change allows baby to carry objects to their mothers.
