3 basic rules of motor development
- cephalocaudal progression (head to tail)
- proximal to distal progression
- gross to fine control
5 domains of development
- physiologic
- motor
- cognitive
- language
- psychosocial
infants physiological development
- weight & length
- characteristic appearance
- APGAR score
- body structures/ functions
- dramatic physical growth during first: 6 months
- size of head and body appropriate by: 4 months
6 behavioral states when responding to stimulation - newborn
- deep sleep
- light sleep
- drowsy and semi-dozing
- alert, actively awake
- fussy
- crying
infants sensory skills development
- vision
- hearing
- tastes
- most important stimuli for infants: skin contact & warmth
infants gross motor development
- physiologic flexion
- random burst
- primitive reflexes
infants fine motor development
- visual inspection
importance of tummy time
- rooting reflex
- oral motor development
- facilitates grasping
infants process of cognitive development
- piaget: SENSORIMOTOR
- infants develop the ability to organize and coordinate sensations with physical movement and actions during the first stage
6 substages of sensorimotor stage
- reflexive
- primary circular reactions
- secondary circular reactions
- coordination of secondary schemata
- tertiary circular reactions
- mental representation
infants language development
- neonates: undifferentiated crying
- 3 mo:
- 4 mo:
- 6 mo:
- 8 mo:
- 12 mo:
- 24 mo:
ainsworth’s 4 stages of attachment
- 2-3 mo: initial attachment
- 4-6 mo: attachment in the making
- 6-7 mo: clear-cut or active attachment
- post-12 mo: multiple attachments
bonding functions to:
- express affection
- sustain interaction between caregiver and infant
greenspan’s 4 stages of psychosocial development
- self-regulation and interest in the world
- falling in love
- purposeful communication
- organized sense of self
early childhood physiological development
- development of autonomy, expressive language, and sphincter control
- limbs grow faster than head
- greater risk of ear infection (horizontal tubes)
- greater risk of tummy aches (straight tummy)
- immaturity of retinas, causing farsightedness
early childhood motor development
- balance/ strength overall increases
- basic components (vision, touch, gross/ fine motor skills)
- 2 years: draw - palmar grasp
- 3.5 years:
- 4 years:
- 5/6 years: scissor skills
early childhood process/ cognition development
- piaget’s preoperational period
- 2-4 years: preconceptual substage (symbolic thought, egocentrism, animism)
- 5-7 years: preoperational thought (intuitive thinking)
early childhood language development
- use of symbolism
- pretend play
- logical thinking
- vocab expands
- asks questions
- labels items
- able to use words and gestures to represent real objects or events
- 5-6: enunciates clearly and has advanced language
early childhood psychosocial development
- terrible twos
- 4-6 years: initiative and imagination vs. guilt (erickson)
- 2 greenspan stages: creating emotional ideas and emotional thinking
middle childhood physiologic development
- physical growth slows down
- permanent teeth replace baby teeth, makes facial features more distinctive
- digestive system matures (aches less prevalent)
- position change in ear tubes (infections less prevalent)
