Developmental
Can be qualitative
Combination of growth , maturation, and learning
Simple to complex
Generally measured by observation
Developmental task
Set of skills and competencies that are very unique to each developmental stage
Simple to complex

Double the height of the height when they are two
As far as height what is the difference between males and females
Higher for males

Bilateral and symmetrical
Cephalocaudal
Proximodistal
Bilateral and symmetrical

Motor control head to trunk to extremities
Proximodistal
Near to far
Motor control trunk over arms before fingers
From inside out
Sequential trends
