Recent advances in the science of human movement have enabled developmental psychologists to discover unique patterns of organization and control in infant motor behavior and development, provoking a resurgence of interest in this topic. In this article, we emphasize the role that motor development may play in determining developmental sequences or "timetables" in other domains. Specifically, we argue that particular motor achievements may be integral to developments in the domains of haptic perception and depth perception. In both cases, there is a high degree of fit between the developmental sequence in which certain perceptual sensitivities unfold and the ages at which the corresponding motor abilities onset. The discussions may provide new contexts in which to consider the developments of haptic perception and depth perception. The general purpose, however, is to highlight the wide-ranging influence of motor development during infancy.
人类运动科学的最新进展使发展心理学家能够发现婴儿运动行为和发展中独特的组织和控制模式，引发了对该主题兴趣的再度兴起。在本文中，我们强调运动发展在决定其他领域的发展顺序或“时间表”中可能发挥的作用。具体而言，我们认为特定的运动成就可能是触觉感知和深度感知领域发展不可或缺的一部分。在这两种情况下，某些感知敏感性展开的发展顺序与相应运动能力开始出现的年龄之间都有高度的契合度。这些讨论可能会为思考触觉感知和深度感知的发展提供新的背景。然而，总体目的是突出婴儿期运动发展的广泛影响。
