"Our findings are consistent with those of longitudinal studies performed a few decades ago, showing that the age a child achieved major milestones of standing or walking were predictors of later child performance in memory," said Akhgar Ghassabian, a postdoctoral fellow at the National Institutes of Health and lead author of the study.
