Trajectory is all about straight lines up and down or across.
Trajectory schema may have elements of vertical, horizontal and grid movements.
A child that has a trajectory schema is interested in things, and themselves moving in straight lines; up and down or across. It is a very common schema and one that young babies will often display; explaining why they love to drop things from their highchairs.
