the process of genes and environment operating together influence development. As the environment is constantly changing humankind needs to have changeable characteristics‚ some of which are physical‚ this is known as "Developmental Plasticity".

One of these factors is motor development. All children go through the same stages which begin with rolling over and end by walking. However‚ it seems that motor behaviours can be improved by practice or encouragement.
