Adolph is a recipient of a MERIT Award from the National Institutes of Child Health and Human Development in support of her innovative research.

[5] Low impact errors, such as a slight stumble or fall, allow children to continue practicing to crawl, walk, and explore.

[6] Adolph received a B.A., in Psychology and Fine Arts in 1986 from Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, NY.

[16] Adolph's work examines how individuals learn to adapt to changes in their bodies and develop skills to handle variation in the environment.

She examines motor skill acquisition in infant humans and monkeys in order to track learning and development.

[8] One of their main research methodologies involves developing tasks that challenge infants, children, and adults with novel predicaments, such as crawling over bridges, squeezing through apertures, swinging over monkey bars, and reaching for targets with the body in motion.

[22] In 2018, Adolph won the Kurt Koffka Medal, awarded by Giessen University for "advancing the fields of perception or developmental psychology to an extraordinary extent".
