basic concept related to development Flashcards
what are the importance of motor development
1.it helps us to understand the changes that occur in our mtor domains ..i.e human development. socailetc
2.helps us to diagnose the problems in those who do not develop normALLY
3.It helps us to establish appropritate activities that help people to learn new movement skills
what are the domains of the human development
physical
cognitive
motor
affective
an interactionnal process that leads to changes in behaviour over the life span is what
development
what are the elements of developmental changes
multifactorial
sequential[pattern]
cummulative[current behavious are built on previous ones]
directional[progressive and regressive]
individual
qualitative
what is developmental perspective
development is age related and not age determined
difference btw maturation and growth
maturation is based on the qualitative function that comes with age
2.changes in the functions of the organs and tissues
3.modified behaviour due to the qualitative changes
growth is the quantitaive function
increase in physical size
factors involving growth
hyperplasia..increase in cell number
hypertrophy…increase in cell size
accretion..increase in intracellular matter
2 types of developmental direction
cephalocaudal and proximodistal
differences btw integration and differenciation
differentiation
1.progression of immature movement to a mote refined movement
integration …. a change that occurs as the individual ability to move increases
also they have a reverse role
what is the prenatal period
first age
the first 8 weeks is refered to as what
the embrayonic stage
what is the fetal stage
the end of the 8 weeks of gestation and also when the individual gets recognized as a human
the first 22 days after birth is
neonatal
toddlerhood is what age
1-4 years
the end of earlychildhood is
7 years
