| Summary: |
This film was produced at the Yale Clinic of Child Development and directed by Arnold Gesell, M.D. It is compiled of footage shot over a 20-year period. In the film, the developmental task of learning to walk is studied and documented at 23 defined stages. Infants from the ages of one week to 18 months are shown exhibiting motor abilities that Gesell contends are characteristic of the ability to walk upright. Development progresses from cephalo to caudal, and proximal to distal. The infants are shown, usually alone, lying prone on a light-colored mat. In some sequences an attendant appears wearing a lab coat. Most sequences are shot from slightly above or directly above the prone child. Some sequences show the babies on a mat that has been marked with concentric circles so the viewer can easily measure the distance the child moves. |
