What is Gallahue’s hourglass model of motor development?

Reflexive movement phase + rudimentary movement phase+ fundamental movement phase+ specialized movement phase

All mix together and lead to motor control and movement competence

= Lifelong daily living utilization+ lifelong recreational utilization+ lifelong competitive utilization

This is influenced by individual and environmental factors

What are the landmarks of physical achievement?

Fine motor skills: skills involving small muscles used in manipulation

Development of hand control:

At birth: grasping is reflexive
3 months: grasping becomes voluntary (ulnar grasp)

What is the sensorimotor development stage?

Experiencing the world through sense and action
Object permanence and stranger anxiety

What is the preoperational development stage?

Representing things with words and images; use intuitive rather than logical reasoning

Pretend play
Egocentrism
Language development

What is the concrete operational development stage?

Thinking logically about concrete events; grasping concrete analogies and performing arithmetical operations

Conservation
Mathematical transformations

What is the formal operational stage?

Abstract reasoning Abstract logic Potential for mature moral reasoning

By age 1, what does the cognitive development in the average child look like?

Average child: is curious about everyday objects and how they work Starts to remember things that happened a few hours or even a day ago Can find an object they watched you hide Likes to play peekaboo Experiments by making different sounds Identify each parent, often by mama or dada Sometimes repeat right away a sound they hear when someone is talking Say at least 3 words Recognize their own name and may also look at family members or pets when you talk about them

What is information processing?

How children take in, use and store information Development is dependent on memory

What are the three basic aspects of memory?

Encoding: info is recorded into a form usable for memories Storage: placement of info into memory Retrieval: how info is retrieved from memories

What is infantile amnesia?

Lack of memories prior to 3 years old

What is Bayley's Scales of infant development? (2-42months)

Mental scale Motor scale Behavioral scale Can detect sensory and neurological issues Association between infant and adult intelligence visual recognition memories have been linked to have higher IQs later in life Kids that develop languages earlier grow up to have higher IQs

What are the Bayley Scale of infant development mental and motor target for a 1 month old?

Mental: infant quiets when lifted Motor: infant makes postural adjustment when lifted

What are the Bayley Scale of infant development mental and motor target for a 2 month old?

Mental: infant glances between two objects over a crib Motor: infant holds head steady when carried

What are the Bayley Scale of infant development mental and motor target for a 5 month old?

Mental: Infant transfers object between hands Motor: Infant attempts to pick up objects out of reach

What are the Bayley Scale of infant development mental and motor target for a 8 month old?

Mental: Development of object permanence Motor: Infant raises him/herself into sitting position

What are the Bayley Scale of infant development mental and motor target for a 12 month old?

Mental: infant imitates words that are spoken Motor: when requested, infant stands up
