Infant Development Milestone Study

Infant Development Milestone Study

Interested in research on Infant Development? Contact the Infant Development Milestone Study. We are looking for graduate students to work on our project.

Developmental Trajectories

A largely unrealized goal of developmental research is to describe the pattern of a child's developmental along important dimensions, and I have had a long-standing interest in describing trajectories and how children differ on them.

Activity Level Trajectory

  • Over a number of studies and a decade of research we collected instrumented measures of customary movement over a 1- or 2-day period.
  • In total, we had movement data from 840 individuals, whose ages ranged from 6 weeks to 52 years.
  • We (Eaton, McKeen, & Campbell, 2001) plotted each individual's average level of movement against age in the following figure.
  • An inverted U-shaped pattern emerged.
  • The peak in motor activity level occurs in middle childhood, later than expected.
