Behavior and Development Flashcards
development quotient
dev age/chronologic age *100. 70-85- close f/u. 85= normal
primitive reflex
present at birth. gone in 3-6mo. if have CNS injury, become stronger and more sustained.
Moro: birth-4mo
hand grasp- birth-1 to 3mo
rooting: turn head to same side of stimulus when corner of mouth stimulated: birth-6mo
atonic neck reflex- head to one side, arm and leg extend on same side and flex on pop: 2-4wk to 6mo
postural reflex
not present at birth= acquired. facilitate oritentation of body. CNS damage cause delay dev
head rigging: keep head vertical despite tilted body.
parachute: outstretch arm and legs when body moved head first in downward direction
gross motor milestone
birth- head side to side
2mo- lift head when prone. lag when lift from supine position
4mo: roless over, no head lag from supine, rushes chest up with arms
6mo: sits alone, lead with head when pull from supine
9mo: pulls to stand, cruises
12mo- walk
fine motor milestone
birth: fisted hands
3-4mo: hands to midline together then to mouth
4-5mo: reach for obj
6-7mo: rakes. transfer obj from hand to hand
9mo: use immature pincer
12mo: mature pincer (tip of index finger
motor dev red flags
- persistent fisting after 3mo- earliest sign of NM prob
- early rolling over, pulling to stand instead of sitting, persistent toe walking- spasticity
3) spontaneous postures ~ scissoring in spastic kid, frog leg position with hypotonic infant
4) : early hand dominance (bf 18mo) - hemiparesis
language milestone
Prespeech: : 0-10mo
1) brith- attune to human voice, dd parents
2) 2-3: coo (voos), musical sounds
3) 6mo: blabbing (mix vowel + consonants
naming period: 10-18mo
1) 9-12: jargon- parsody
2) 12mo: 1-3 words
3) 18: 20-50 words
word combination period 18-24mo- telegraphic
2y: 25-50% speech intelligible
3y: 3 word sentence. 75% speech intelligible
DD speech or language delay
1) global dev delay or MR
2) hearing impairment
3) enviro deprivation
4) pervasive dev D, like autism
intellectual dev
dep on attention, information processing, memory. language in infants is best indicator of intellectual potential. motor correlates poorly
stages in cog dev
1) sensorimotor: birth -2yo: explore through physical manipulation of obj
2) functional play: >1yo: rec obj and their function
3) imaginative play: 24-30mo: use symbols- blocks to build forts
4) concrete thinking: preschool- elementary- interpret literally
5) abstract thinking: adolescent
obj permanence
9m = why separation anxiety start 6-18mo
cause and effect
9-15mo
magical thinking
noral in preschool toddler years. inanimate obj are alive and have feelings
red flags in cog dev
language estimate verbal IQ, problem solving measure nonverbal so delay in both = think MR
if only language delay ck hearing prob or communication D
only problem solving delay then visual or fine motor prob
discrepancy btw language and problem solve - learning disability
social skills
self and indeed at 15mo. parallel play at 2y. together play at 3
motor deficits
cerebral palsy, metabolic abn, chromosomal abn, MN disease, degen diseasl, SC injury, myopathies, CNS strucural defects
cerebral palsy define and RF
static encephalopathies caused by injury to developing brain in which motor func is primary affected. IQ could be normal.
P: neuro damage- motor prob, seizure, cog defict, MR, learning disability, sensory loss visual and auditory deficits
RF: mom (multiple gestation, premie), prenatal (IUGR, congeital, TORCH), perinatal (traumatic delivery, low apgar, premature or postdate), postnatal hypoxic encephalopathy, intraventricular hemorrhage, trauam, kernicterus)
cerebral palsy epi, dx, classification
epi- .2-.5%
dx- repeated neurodev examinations with incr tone, opacity, hypotonia, asylum reflexes, mV D, abn pattern in disappearance of primitive reflexes.
classification: spastic cerebral palsy- incr tone, scisorring = sign of spasticity, early hand pref, seizure, scoliosis; extrapyramidal cerebral palsy= athetoid CP, writhing, oral motor mvt= prob speech/drooling, hypotonia of neck and trunk limiting exploration
pervasive dev disorder (PDD)
affect multiple dev areas, especially behavior and learning
autism
ADHD
30-50% have 1st degree relative with it
dop and NE prob
dx bf 7
comorbidity: anxiety, conduct D, ODD, OCD
hearing impairment- etio, prognosis
screen bc outcome better if intervene bc 6mo- less delayed speech and language defect, behavioral prob
80% auto recessive. 20% pre/peri/postnatal factors( congenital infection, prematurity, bacterial meningitis, middle ear anomalies)
prog: degree of loss, etiology( inherited is better. acquired associated with more other neural def), family support, after age two>bf, timing of amplification- early=better, cochlear implants- improve hearing
hearing medical eval
genetic eval. Cr lvl bc kidney disease + hearing = aport, viral serologies, CT head
blindness
leading cause: trachoma infection. especially developing countries
retinopathy of prematurity
congenital cataracts
haptic perfection- tactile sensation to dev mental image
colic: define, sig, epi,
crying>3hr
sig: disrupt attachment, cause family stress.
10% newborn- healthy, well fed. being 2-4wk and end 3-4mo
periods of irrtability
