本研究探讨了年龄、爬行起始年龄和爬行经验对婴儿在可能导致危险福尔斯跌倒的情况下的适应行为的影响。31名有不同爬行经验的婴儿在一个新的范例中进行了测试，该范例使用了真实的悬崖和水崖，并使用了安全带系统来保证安全。与之前在真实的和视觉悬崖研究中获得的结果一致，爬行经验更丰富的婴儿更有可能避免真实的悬崖。更重要的是，更多的爬行经验与更大的可能性，避免水崖。新的范式提供了令人兴奋的机会，研究适应性行为在危险环境中的发展。
This study examined the influence of age, crawling-onset age, and crawling experience on infants' adaptive behavior in situations that can lead to dangerous falls. Thirty-one infants with variable amounts of crawling experience were tested in a new paradigm that used a real cliff and a water cliff, with a harness system to guarantee safety. Consistent with previous findings obtained in studies with real and visual cliffs, infants with more crawling experience were more likely to avoid the real cliff. More importantly, greater crawling experience was associated with a greater likelihood of avoiding the water cliff. The new paradigm offers exciting opportunities to study the development of adaptive behavior in risky environments.
