Datasets_Experienced crawlers avoid real and water drop-offs, even when they are walking_Infancy2021

The behaviour of 25 infants was analysed on the Real Cliff / Water Cliff apparatus using a longitudinal study design. Infants were tested as experienced crawlers (T1), novice walkers (T2), and as experienced walkers (T3). The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of crawling experience on walking infants’ avoidance of falling on the real and the water cliffs and to confirm the results of a previous cross-sectional study [Burnay et al. (2021) The effect of specific locomotor experiences on infants’ avoidance behaviour on real and water cliffs] where crawling experience, and not walking experience, was linked to walking infants’ avoidance behaviour, suggesting that newly walking infants who have been experienced crawlers avoid falling from real and water cliffs more consistently then walking infants that did not have enough crawling experience.本研究采用纵向研究设计，对25名婴儿在真实悬崖/水域悬崖实验装置上的行为表现开展分析。婴儿分别在熟练爬行阶段（T1）、初学行走阶段（T2）以及熟练行走阶段（T3）接受测试。 本研究旨在探究爬行经验对行走期婴儿规避真实悬崖与水域悬崖坠落风险行为的影响，并验证此前一项横断面研究的结论[Burnay等人，2021年，《特定运动经验对婴儿在真实及水域悬崖场景下的规避行为的影响》]。该研究指出，与行走经验相比，爬行经验与行走期婴儿的规避坠落行为关联更为紧密，这表明相较于缺乏足够爬行经验的初学行走婴儿，曾具备熟练爬行经验的初学行走婴儿能更稳定地规避来自真实悬崖与水域悬崖的坠落风险。
