knowledge in particular areas that makes learning new information easier.
KNOWLEDGE BASE
The current measurement for determining excess weight which expresses the relationship of height to weight.

OVERALL PHYSICAL GROWTH
Rates of growth generally slow during these years. Typically, a child will gain about 5-7 pounds a year and grow about 2-3 inches per year
a measure of intelligence that is adjusted for age

Kinesthetic (body)
decreased participation in school physical education and youth sports is just one of many factors that has led to an increase in children being overweight or obese
CHILDHOOD OBESITY
IDENTITY
objects have qualities that do not change even if the object is altered in some way.
the pattern of scores usually observed in a variable that clusters around its average.
NORMAL DISTRIBUTION (OR BELL CURVE)
the capacity of working memory expands during middle and late childhood, and research has suggested that both an increase in processing speed and the ability to inhibit irrelevant information from entering memory are contributing to the greater efficiency of working memory during this age
WORKING MEMORY
occurs when a child does not grasp the strategy being taught, and thus, does not benefit from its use.
MEDIATION DEFICIENCY
The ability to use logic and mathematical skills to solve problems
