The development of motor skills is an illustration of dynamic systems theory. This means that:
Group of answer choices
the development of each motor skill must be looked at in terms of the influences of each level of the ecological system as outlined by Bronfebrenners ecological systems theory.

each motor milestone is achieved and mastered by the child in separate and innate ways that emerge in a fixed sequence, governed by a built-in maturational timetable.
separate abilities blend together as they are developed, each cooperating with others to produce more effective ways of exploring and controlling the environment.
