Many theorists believe that walking is simply a matter of biological programming. What would Esther Thelen say in response to this idea?
What will be an ideal response?
She believed that "true walking" results from a genetic plan for motor skill development and a shift in the ratio of muscle strength to body weight in infants. Since body weight and muscle strength are highly dependent on nutrition, she would argue that environment plays an important role in a child's ability to walk.
