Stair locomotion

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki

Script error: No such module "AfC submission catcheck". Stair locomotion is the action of ascending or descending a set of stairs.[1] The research shows this is a complex task, not the least because a set of stairs is a mechanical invention which does not appear in nature. Stair locomotion involves processing visuospatial cues from both foveal and peripheral vision, that is, processing information from what we see directly in front of us, and information from what we see around us, such as the nature of the stairwell. Both the foveal and peripheral visuospatial cues tell us where to place our feet, when ascending or descending stairs.
