Q

What are developmental characteristics of infancy?

A
  • Piaget’s sensorimotor period (birth to 2)
  • 12-18m: object permanence
  • Mothereese, babbling, echolalia (repeating what others say), first words
  • primitive fine motor movement precedes voluntary (grasp reflex gone by 2m)
  • ulnar to radial progression of grasp
  • pronation precedes supination
  • hand preference develops around 1-3 y
