Human Development (Ch5) Flashcards
(253 cards)
Period of natal development: grasp reflex appears
second trimester
Which reflexes begin at 4-6 months and integrate at 5 years?
neck and body righting (NOB, BOB)

palmar-supinate grasp

Which reflex begins at 4 months and persists?
downward parachute/protective extension downward
Which reflex begins at birth-2mo and persists?
labyrinthine/optical head righting
Release: involuntary release
1-4 mo
Stimulus: place infant in supine Response: increased extensor tone
tonic labyrinthine supine
In supine: holds head in midline chin is tucked and neck lengthens in back legs come together lower back flattens against floor
3-4 mo
when does a radial-palmar grasp typically develop?
6 mo
Release: presses down on surface to release
7-10 mo
Standing: rotates trunk over lower extremities lower extremities are more active in pulling to a standing position pulls to standing by kneeling, then half-kneeling
8-9 mo
Jumping and hopping: hops on one foot, few steps
2.5 yr
Period of natal development: responds to tactile stimuli
first trimester
Stimulus: rapidly lower infant toward supporting surface while suspended vertically Response: extension of the lower extremities
downward parachute/protective extension downward
Period of natal development: sleep states occur
second trimester
at what age do we expect to see palmar-supinate grasp?
1-1.5 yr
Which reflex begins at 28 wks gestation and integrates at 3 months?
rooting
Sitting: Supports self in sitting Sits alone momentarily Increased extension in back Sits by propping forward on arms Wide base, legs are bent Periodic use of “high guard” Protective responses present when falling to front
5-6 mo
Stimulus: stroke the corner of the mouth, upper lip, lower lip Response: movement of the tongue, mouth, and/or head toward the stimulus
rooting
Creeping: creeps on hands and feet
10-11 mo
Stimulus: grasp infant’s forearms and pull to sit Response: complete flexion of UE
traction
Sitting: Sits well without support Legs are closer, full upright with knees straight Increased variety of positions, including “w” sit and side sit Difficult fine motor tasks may prompt return to wide base of support
8-10 mo
Stair climbing: walks down stairs, alternating feet
3-3.5 yr
What age is this child?
- Child can build involved structures combining various planes, along with symmetrical designs
- Child is able to utilize spatial awareness, cause-and-effect, and mental images in problem-solving
48-60 mo
