Q

what was the motor development measure in the maturational period (1928 - 1946) and what did it focus on

A

Q

who were the significant researchers in the normative / descriptive period (1946-1970) and what is different about the idea of motor development

A
  • motor development now separated from cognitive development
  • significant researchers were Physical Educators

Q

in the normative / descriptive period (1946-1970) what was found about process and product of development

A

started to look at how the processes of development were different to the products of development

Q

what was started to be suggested in the process orientated period (1970 - present) about it is not just growing bigger and older that allows us to perform certain tasks, there is an interaction …

A

there is an interaction between the organism, environment and task that allows us to perform the task

Q

what is perceptual motor recalibration

A

as our limbs grow, we get bigger and weigh more this changes the inertial load and causes us to recalibrate the way we more in order to readjust to heavier limbs

17
Q

what segment grows the most from birth to maturity

A

legs

18
Q

what happens to our centre of mass as our legs get longer

A

centre of mass becomes higher

19
Q

how does development progress (in which directions)

A

cephalocaudal and proximodistal directions

20
Q

what is cephalocaudal development progression

A

head to feet

21
Q

what is proximodistal development progression

A

inside out

22
Q

what is the critical period for grasping behaviour in babies

A

4-8 months

23
Q

what is the sensitive period where babies are most sensitive to alcohol

A

during the first trimester of pregnancy the infant is very sensitive to alcohol

24
Q

abilities both … and …, or may develop atypically

A

abilities both progress and regress, or may develop atypically

25
Q

how many periods are there of lifespan development

A

5

26
Q

how many phases are in the developmental continuum

A

7

27
Q

during infancy (0-2 years) there development is what orientated

A

survival orientated

28
Q

what is the stage of development through childhood

A

explore physical and social environments

29
Q

what is the relation between age and coordination

A

non linear

30
Q

after the age of 30 what happens to our coordination

A

coordination seems to decrease

31
Q

do boys or girls tend to do object manipulation tasks better

A

boys tend to do them better

32
Q

how many accelerated learning periods do endurance and strength have

A

Aerobic endurance and strength only have one accelerated learning period
