According to research, the ability to inhibit a response that is primed for release develops between 8 to 12 months of age. This is often tested using the "visual cliff" task, where infants are placed on a glass-covered platform and encouraged to crawl or reach for a toy on the other side that appears to be suspended in midair. The ability to inhibit the response to crawl or reach for the toy, suggesting the infant understands the potential danger of falling, is typically seen in infants between 8 to 12 months old.
