Concepts of infant Development

Question 1

what are the 4 major concepts of infant development?

Answer 1

cephalic to caudal
gross to fine
variable to goal-directed
proximal to distal

Question 2

cephalic to caudal concept of development

Answer 2

an infant develops head and UE control prior to trunk and LE control

general skill acquisition from the direction of head to toe

Question 3

what concept of development includes infant development of head and UE control prior to trunk and LE control with general skill acquisition from the direction of head to toe?

Answer 3

cephalic to caudal concept of development

Question 4

gross to fine motor concept of development

Answer 4

general trend of large muscle movement acquisition with progression to small muscle skill activation

Question 5

what concept of development includes a general trend of large muscle movement acquisition with progression to small muscle skill activation?

Answer 5

gross to fine motor concept of development

Question 6

variable to goal-directed concept of development

Answer 6

general trend for an infant to display large repertoire of variable movement before they develop goal-directed movement

Question 7

what concept of development includes a general trend for infants to display large repertoire variable movement before they develop goal-directed movement?

Answer 7

variable to goal-directed concept of development

Question 8

proximal to distal concept of development

Answer 8

concept that uses midline orientation of the body as the reference point, with trunk control (midline stability) is acquired first with subsequent gain in distal (extremities) control

Question 9

what concept of development uses midline orientation of the body as a reference point, with trunk control (midline stability) acquired first and subsequent gain in distal (extremities) control?

Answer 9

proximal to distal concept of development
