732位父母报告了他们的婴儿何时以及如何学会爬楼梯。儿童通常在爬行开始几个月后和下楼梯前几周（平均年龄= 12.53个月）掌握爬楼梯（平均年龄= 10.97个月）。大多数婴儿（94%）是第一次独立爬上楼的。大多数婴儿（76%）在最初下降时转身和后退。其他的下山策略包括坐着、走路和脸先滑下来。家里有楼梯的孩子比家里没有楼梯的孩子更有可能在更小的时候学会爬楼梯，把后退作为下楼梯的策略，并被父母明确地教导如何下楼梯。然而，不管家里有没有楼梯，所有的婴儿都是在同一年龄学会下楼梯的。父母的教学策略和婴儿爬楼梯的机会共同限制了发展，并影响了爬楼梯里程碑的获得。(c) 2006爱思唯尔公司版权所有。
Seven hundred and thirty-two parents reported when and how their infants learned to climb stairs. Children typically mastered stair ascent (mean age = 10.97 months) several months after crawling onset and several weeks prior to descent (mean age = 12.53 months). Most infants (94%) crawled upstairs the first time they ascended independently. Most infants (76%) turned around and backed at initial descent. Other descent strategies included scooting down sitting, walking, and sliding down face first. Children with stairs in their home were more likely to learn to ascend stairs at a younger age, devise backing as a descent strategy, and be explicitly taught to descend by their parents than children without stairs in their home. However, all infants learned to descend stairs at the same age, regardless of the presence of stairs in their home. Parents' teaching strategies and infants' access to stairs worked together to constrain development and to influence the acquisition of stair climbing milestones. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc.
