Intro to MD Flashcards
1
Q
What is the Neuromaturational Developmental Theory?
A
- acknowledge variation in sequence and input from all systems
- cephalocaudal (prox to dist)
- tightly tied to the CNS
2
Q
What is the Cognitive Developmental Theory?
A
- thinking develops in stages of increasing complexity
- organize mental schemes through mental operations
3
Q
What is the Behavioral Developmental Theory?
A
- behavior is shaped by the environment
- assumes most behaviors learned responses
- used in ABA
4
Q
What is the Psychoanalytical/Psychosocial Developmental Theory?
A
- biologically determined drives, unconscious conflicts
- initial drive for survival
5
Q
What is the Ecological/Contextual Developmental Theory?
A
- environment has very strong influence
6
Q
What is the Dynamic Systems Developmental Theory?
A
- movement emerges based on internal milieu, external environment, task
- movement directed by dynamic interacting systems
7
Q
What is the Neuronal Group Selection Developmental Theory?
A
- infant motor development with increased and decreased periods of variability - resultant from changes in CNS
- CNS + environmental factors
8
Q
Define prenatal
A
- before birth
9
Q
Define gestation
A
- measured in weeks
- from the first day of the woman’s last menstrual cycle to the current date
10
Q
Define fertilization
A
- egg fertilized by sperm to form zygote
11
Q
Define embryo
A
- week 2-8 after fertilization
12
Q
Define fetus
A
- developing week 9-37
13
Q
Define neonate
A
- infant up to 28 days after birth
14
Q
What is gastrulation and when does it occur?
A
- the formation of the ecto-, meso-, and endo- derm layers
- third week of embryonic development
15
Q
What is neurolation?
A
- the formation of the neural tube
- eventually becomes the SC and brain
- formed by the overlying ectodermal cells at the neural plate
- the neural crest becomes the PNS & other structures
- the remaining ectoderm forms the epidermis of skin, hair, exocrine glands, and the anterior pituitary
