Time matters
A physical therapist gets a four year old child to do 20 squats by putting a chunky puzzle together with the pieces on the floor and the board on a table
Salience matters
A 15 year old patient with a spinal cord injury learns to do a wheelie in two days, but a 50 year old patient with the same injury takes three weeks to learn the same skill
Age matters
A patient who learns how to do bed mobility on a mat in the gym, is able to do the same bed mobility at home in bed
