L2 Infant Flashcards
Core Concepts in Early Development 1-6
- Bio-environment interaction impacts health and development
- Brain development proceeds in well-defined but continuous steps
- Major physiological systems develop during this time
- Early caregiving environment is crucial for long-term development
- The developing child plays an important role in interactions and development
- The development of executive functions is a key aspect of early childhood development
Core Concepts in Early Development 7-12
- Trajectories, positive or negative, are not immutable
- there is a variability in individuals and group development
- experiences across environmental contexts play a significant role in early development
- Disparities in access to critical resources matter
- Health outcomes are the result of experiences across the life course
- early interventions matter and are more cost effective than later ones
Vision/Fine motor, Cognitive of 1 mo
- Focus on stationary targets
- Hands fisted, thumb tucked
Vision/Fine motor, Cognitive of 2 mo
Tracks moving object with head rotation
Hands open briefly
Vision/Fine motor, Cognitive of 3 mo
Begins to reach for moving object while tracking
interact with parents via visual tracking
head righting w/optical and labyrinth
Gross motor supine 0-3 mo
physiological flexion
reciprocal, symmetrical kicking
head usually to side, then develops to head in midline with hands on chest
Gross motor prone 0-3 months
1 mo = momentary head elevation w/minimal forearm support

rounded back
head bobs then will steady
hips apart, flexed, ER
chin tucks
shoulders in front of hips

uses arm to swing at toys
brings hands to mouth
hands slide forward bilaterally in prone @ 5 mo
4-6 mo gross motor, rolling
rolls from supone to side slying, rolls from prone to side accidentally @ 4 mo
rolls prone to supine, R/L independent movements @ 5-6 mo
4-6 mo gross motor, prone
pushes up on hands with elbows
4-6 mo gross motor, sitting
sits with support
head control in supported sitting, wide base
@ 6 mo, independent sitting, propped with hands leaning forward
4-6 mo gross motor, held in standing position
increased weight bearing with decreased necessary support, still proximal support needed
4-6 mo cognitive
opens mouth when hungry, seeks source of food
looks at hands with interest
@ 6 mo - closes lips when does not want more, reaches for desired toy, mouthing for exploration
4-6 mo communication
makes sounds when you talk to them
turns head toward sound of caregiver voice
@ 6 mo - takes turns making sounds, blows raspberries, squeals
4-6 mo social emotional
smiles on their own
makes attempts to get or keep person’s attention
@ 6 mo = knows familiar people, looks in mirror, laughs
4-6 mo feeding
begins to eat puree texture
7-9 mo fine motor
reaches with one hand while weight bearing with other
@ 9 mo - rakes food with fingers
moves objects from one hand to other
bangs two objects together
7-9 mo gross motor, rolling, prone, quadruped
rolls segmentally prone to supine
crawls forward on belly
transitions into quadruped on hands and knees
reciprocal creep on all four limbs
7-9 mo gross motor, sitting
transitions to sitting by self
sits without support
7-9 mo gross motor, standing
pulls to standing at furniture
turnk rotation over leg
keeling, half kneel involved in transition to standing
7-9 mo cognitive
looks for objects out of sight when dropped

10-12 mo, gross motor quadruped
creeps on hands and feet
creeps well
creeps over, around, on objects
10-12 mo, gross motor sitting
transitions from supine via roll to prone, push up to quadruped, transition to sitting
transitions from supone via roll to side then push up to sitting
trunk control, equilibrium responses
10-12 mo, gross motor standing/walking
pulls to standing at furniture
walks with one hand held, reaches for furniture out of reach when cruising, cruises in either direction
10-12 mo cognitive
puts something in container
looks for things visibly hidden
10-12 mo communication
waves bye
calls parent by name
pauses or stops in response to no
10-12 mo social emotional
plays interactive game
Alberta Infant Motor Scales
Purpose = infant screening, motor funcion, assess change in motor development
Age range = 0-18 mo
Areas tested = supine, prone, sitting, standing, weight beraing, posture
Scoring by observed or not observed
Harris Infant Neuromotor Test
Purpose = infant screening, identify neuromotor or cognitive concerns
Age range = 3-12 months
Areas tested = parent Qs, motor, behavior, physical
Scoring = raw scores
