in terms of motor skills

early experience seems to affct to the development of motor skills

Most children are ready to focus on school work between the ages of 4 to 7 because:

parts of the brain that enable sustained attentino become myelinated

young children who are physcially active

are likelt to have phsycially active paretns

why do children dislike certain foods

bc they are unfamiliar with them

when is brain plasticity at its peak?

between the ages of one and two

bedwetting tends to occur

during the deepest stage of sleep

rough and tumble play is found

cross-culturally in same, and mixed sex groups

in comparison to physical development and infancy

growth during the preschool years is slower

occur earlier in the sleep cycle than nightmares

why might identical twins not have the same handedness

bc some twins are "mirror opposites"

transitional objects, such as stuffed animals and other favorite toys

may assist children in gaining greater independance

the scribbling of young children

demonstrates meaningful patterns

what are gross motor skills

skills involving large muscle groups

during preschool years:

boys and girls show about the same growth patterns

draws a simple building, says its her grandmas house: what is this

drawings are symbolic of a broad category

younger preschoolers:

are less likely to engage in physical play than older preschoolers

brendan is a 1yo and has recently suffered a brain injury. brain specialists tell his parents that:

age,his brain may be able to compenstate for injuries due to its plasticity

jason feeds his infant son food high in salt and sugar: what happens

the infants preference for sweet and dalty foods will increase

decrease in appetite in 2 year old

decrease in appetite at this age is normal

shape stage of drawing

draws recognizable objects like houses and airplanes

myelination of neural pathways linking the cerebellum & the cerebal cortex

accounts for the increasing balance and coordination in the child

spencer is designing a new daycare for 2-4 yo. which design is best

a large open space with few peices of furniture

research suggests that in right-handed individuals

left hemisphere is more involved in logical analysis and problem solving

in terms of height and weight gains during early childhood:

boys and girls become more slender and lose some baby fat

the handedness of the child is infulenced by the handedness of parents

experience makes no difference as the skills are based on maturation
early experience seems to affct to the development of motor skills
3

the pathways that link the cerebellum to the cortex become myelinated
of myelination of pathways in the cerebellum
parts of the brain that enable sustained attentino become myelinated
their energy levels for running and jumping decrease during early childhood
4

13
why might identical twins not have the same handedness
this is not possible
bc they only share 50% of their genetic heritage
