Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have found that infants with crawling experience were much better at avoiding the edge of the cliff than those who were pre-crawlers or had limited crawling experience. This suggests that crawling experience plays a crucial role in depth perception and the avoidance of falling. The size of the cliff, how real it appears, and a watchful adult may also play a role, but they are not as important as crawling experience.
