Chapter 3; Physical and Cognitive Development in Infancy Flashcards
cephalocaudal pattern is a a sequence in which the earliest growth always occurs at the […]- the head-with physical growth in size weight, and differentiation of features gradually working their way […] from top to bottom
top
down
shoulders, middle trunk and so on
the proximodistal pattern is a sequence in which growth starts at the […] of the body and moves toward the […]
center
extremities
in what areas does the cephalocaudal pattern grow
the eyes and brain-grow faster than the lower parts, such as the jaw
e.g. head area, as the top parts of the head-
according to the cephalocaudal pattern the […] and […] systems generally proceed in developing
sensory
motor
according to the proximodistal pattern what is an example of what the baby can move first
e.g. infants control the muscles of their trunk and arms before they control their hands, and they use their whole hands before they can control several fingers
episodic growth in infants means they growth is occurring in […], [is or is not] smooth, and is it continuous or no
spurts
not
yes continuous

neurons
does brain development continue after birth?
yes, extensive brain development continues after birth, through infancy, and later

how many hemispheres are there?
two halves in the brain
are the two hemisphere identical?
not identical in anatomy or function
what is lateralization
the specialization of function in one hemisphere of the cerebral cortex or the other; both needed for the complex functions
when do newborns show greater electrical brain activity in the left than in the right
when listening to speech sounds
