Module 1: G&D

Development influenced by complex, bidirectional interaction between the brain, the body, and the environment

Timing; Stability; Accuracy

Coordination of senses w/ motor responses/sensory curiosity abt world. Lang used 4 demands/cataloging; object permanence

There are periods of accelerated and slowed development in eachsystem; periods of acceleration or slowing occur at __

Major defects of the body and internal organs are more likely to occur btwn __. This is the same as __ (first trimester)

Growth in musculoskeletal system is accelerated in the first __ of life and during adolescence

Infant's age based on its due date. If a baby is 6mo old chronologically but was born 2mo early, its adjusted age =4mo

Structural (height, weight, muscle mass) and functional (motivation, fear, focus)

the idea that behavior is determined by consequences (reinforcements or punishments) which make it more or less repeat

Concepts are attached to concrete sitchs. Time, space, quantity understood/applied, but not as independent concepts

At the age of __ an infant develops a social smile which is a developmental milestone

Adjusted age is considered until the chronological age of __

remove/avoid noxious stimulus following the behavior. Ex: stop nagging after child completes chore

Goal of a task, rules about performance, or the need for special equipment

Movements arise from the interactions of individual, environment in which the movement occurs, and task to be undertaken

Most critical period of development because of formulation of internal and external structures

Number of years a person has lived. It is the age of a person as measured from birth to a given date. How old are you?

Term used during pregnancy to describe how far along. Measured in wks from 1st day of last menstrual cycle to today

Explores the importance of the contributions of society and culture to an individual’s development

provides a reward for good behavior. Ex: child gets a treat for good grades

Development of abilities required to control large muscles of body for sitting, crawling, creeping, walking, running

Femal growth spurt = 9 years - 14-16 years; male growth spurt = 11 - 17-18 years of age

Gravity, surfaces, gender roles, cultural norms

Growth and development of multiple systems in the body that contribute to motor behavior

The lifespan is divided into age-related segments or periods of development, which include:

Development of motor skills required to control small movements of the hands, wrists, feet, toes, lips, and tongue

Relatively permanent gains in movement/motor skill associated with practice or experience rather than age

Stimulus identification; Response selection; Response programming

Posture; Ability to interact with the environment; Environmental context

Major developmental tasks of a period that depend on movement; sits alone, takes a step, rolls, crawls, or walks

Development of a human’s cognitive, emotional, intellectual, and social capabilities and functioning over the lifespan

Focused on how perception of environment guides action

characteristic way of responding; includes self-regulation and emotion; activity level, affect, persistence, inhibition

A term that describes infants who are born before 37 weeks (about 8 and a half months) of gestation.

Which is NOT a theory of sociocultural development?

Classifications of temperament

Nature refers to the influence of __; nurture refers to the influence of __

Twin study that found training did not change timing of motor milestones;

Which is NOT one of the domains of development?

__ are physical or behavioral signs of development in infants and children.

__ represents cardiovascular, pulmonary, endocrine, integumentary, nervous, and musculoskeletal that move the body

Timing; Direction; Smoothness

Progresses at a slower than typical rate, absent development, or development that fails to occur

Identifying common reinforcers used to produce social behavior; parents first teachers -> extnded family -> social group

Symbolic thinking, use of proper syntax/grammar to express concepts. Imagin/intuition strong; complex abstract thoughts

Motor development was not muscle-specific but instead was functional- or task-specific

Development is pre-programmed + every baby's brain is wired a certain way so that as brain develops, motor dev occurs

Which is an example of a way to stop the behavior?

Continuous age-related processes of change in movement

Which is a theory of psychological development?

Amplitude; Direction; Speed

The age a person functions emotionally, physically, cognitively, socially. Assesed thru outcome measures for typical dev

Four stages of cognitive development in children characterized by ways of interacting with the environment

Theoretical, hypothetical, and counterfactual thinking are developed, along with abstract logic and reasoning; planning

Term used to describe all human movement which includes motorcontrol, motor learning, and motor development

Control of the systems that permit skilled and coordinated movements
