As infants develop increasing motor competence, they use perceptual information to inform their choices about which motor actions to take (Adolph and Joh 2007). For example, they may adjust their crawling or walking in response to the rigidity, slipperiness, or slant of surfaces (Adolph 1997). Motor movements, including movements of the eyes, arms, legs, and hands, provide most of the perceptual information infants receive (Adolph and Berger 2006).
Gross Motor refers to large movements that are driven mostly by the larger muscles groups of the body. Movements of the whole arm, the legs, the trunk, are all gross motor movements. Thus, gross motor skills are skills that develop through using the large muscles of the body in a coordinated and controlled way.Examples of gross motor skills that children can develop are: catching a ball, balancing, jumping on a trampoline, playing tag, running races.hus, gross motor skills are skills that develop through using the large muscles of the body in a coordinated and controlled way.
