Human motor skills are exceptional compared to other species, no less than their cognitive skills. In this perspective paper, we suggest that "movement matters!," implying that motor development is a crucial driving force of cognitive development, much more impactful than previously acknowledged. Thus, we argue that to fully understand and explain developmental changes, it is necessary to consider the interaction of motor and cognitive skills. We exemplify this argument by introducing the concept of "embodied planning," which takes an embodied cognition perspective on planning development throughout childhood. From this integrated, comprehensive framework, we present a novel climbing paradigm as the ideal testbed to explore the development of embodied planning in childhood and across the lifespan. Finally, we outline future research directions and discuss practical applications of the work on developmental embodied planning for robotics, sports, and education.
与其他物种相比，人类的运动技能非常出色，其认知技能亦是如此。在这篇观点论文中，我们认为“运动至关重要！”，这意味着运动发展是认知发展的关键驱动力，其影响力比之前所认识到的要大得多。因此，我们认为要全面理解和解释发展变化，有必要考虑运动技能与认知技能的相互作用。我们通过引入“具身规划”的概念来例证这一观点，该概念从具身认知的角度看待儿童期规划发展的全过程。基于这个综合、全面的框架，我们提出一种新颖的攀爬范式，作为探索儿童期及整个生命周期具身规划发展的理想试验台。最后，我们概述了未来的研究方向，并讨论了关于发展性具身规划的研究在机器人技术、体育和教育方面的实际应用。
