Infants begin with exploratory behaviors, like holding, mouthing, and manipulating objects, which eventually evolve into goal-directed actions around 6-8 months of age. This transition involves coordinated sequences of movements adapted to task requirements and environmental factors. Research by Michelle Lobo and her team has identified ten key exploratory behaviors, which provide the foundation for these more complex actions. By 18 months, typically developing infants have mastered various goal-directed actions, reflecting their growing ability to interact purposefully with their environment.
