Motor Development is an interaction between what?
Biology and Experience
Can the age at which development occurs be modified?
Yes
What are the components of Motor Development?
- Body Control
- Manual Control
- Sensory-Perceptual Development (perception of the environment influencing your bx)
What are some examples of ways to Facilitate Motor Development?
- Provide an Environment with opportunities for variety of motor experiences.
- Present Developmentally appropriate materials
- Arrange experiences to come into contact with Natural Consequences.
- Use Modeling and Prompting
What are some Activities that Encourage Motor Development?
- Outdoor play: bikes, climbing, chalk
- Manipulatives: beads, books, puzzles
- Sensory activities: water or sand table
- Daily routines: eating, brushing teeth (ADLs)
What are some Activities Designed to Enhance Motor Development?
- Problem Solving / Creative Development
- Sharing
- Language Development
- Learning about content/concepts
What approach should be used for teaching Math and Science?
Direct Hands-On exploration and opportunities for Discovery.
What are the General Strategies for Concept Development?
- Focus on Readiness skills for young children

What is the General Approach to Teaching Math and Science?
Hands-On-Discovery
What two factors are interacting to develop language?
Biology and Environment
What are the different theories of Language Development?
- Nativist Approach
- Constructivist Approach
- Behaviorist Approach
Explain the Nativist Approach Theory to language development-
-Biological Predisposition of being human (innate)
Explain the Constructivist Approach Theory to language development-
Language and cognition are interactive
Explain the Behaviorist Approach Theory to language development-
- Language is mediated by listener
- Based on Purpose of words (function of words- going over ‘there.’ That is ‘theirs.’ etc.)
What different factors play into Language Structure?
- Semantics: Meaning of the word in the context of the sentence.
- Morphology: Tense, plurals, possessive (learning to modify words based on context)
- Syntax: Rules of grammar (sentence structure)
- Pragmatics: Social rules (word choice = audience dependent)
What are the different Functions of Language? (Skinner’s Verbal Operants)
- Echoic
- Mand: Motivated internally (EO), reinforced by access. . No prompt needed; just says “apple” after EO, gets apple=reinforced.
- Tact: Stimulus is the antecedent, Pos. reinforcement by Attention “Labeling.” Sees apple, “apple,” reinforced by praise.
- Intraverbal: VB by someone else is antecedent, Pos. reinforced by attention. “What did you eat?” “Apple.”
What mode of instruction does Language learning require?
Direct Instruction
