i need help understanding this question a. What cognitive skills relate to learning to walk?

does this mean, learning to crawl, stand, pull self up??

Hi Sarzy,

Found some info that might help:

Early childhood tasks (birth – 6 years)

• Learning to walk, take solid foods, control body wastes, and developing physiological stability depends on physical maturation.
• Learning to talk depends upon cognitive maturation, but hearing language from others will play an important role.
• Forming simple concepts of social and physical reality relates to cognitive development and the development of thinking.
• Learning sex differences and sexual modesty is the beginning of sex role identification.
• Learning to relate oneself emotionally to parents, siblings, and other people is accomplished largely by modelling the behaviours of others. Thus, parents see and hear their children reflecting their behaviours.
• Learning to distinguish right and wrong and developing a conscience is the beginning of social development and responsibility.
