Q

what is the concept of the mountain of development

A

as development time goes on we can climb the mountain with increased comprehension where being more skillful is at the top

Q

what is the labyrinthine righting reflex

A

enables upright posture

17
Q

what is the pull up reflex

A

baby in sitting position, holding caregivers hands, will flex or extend arms to remain upright if tipped forward of back

18
Q

what are parachute reflexes

A

protective and supportive, forward and downward

19
Q

Ester Thelen suggests that it is the …….. that drives the disappearance of the stepping reflex

A

interaction between various body systems

20
Q

stereotypies create …….. that help infants neural development

A

sensory experiences

21
Q

what is the reflexive / spontaneous period

A

10th fetal week - 2 years

22
Q

when is rudimentary behaviour

A

birth - 2 years

23
Q

in rudimentary behaviour, the development of what loop controls occur

A

open and closed loop control

24
Q

what is open loop control

A

fast, pre planned, ballistic actions

25
Q

what is closed loop control

A

slower, guided by sensory information

26
Q

what leads to slower sway in static posture

A

increased integration of sensory and motor information leads to slower sway

27
Q

embodied cognition = cognitive processes, including thinking, are deeply grounded in our bodily interactions with the …..

A

environment

28
Q

new postures are new….

A

affordances

29
Q

inital creeping (crawling with belly of the floor) involves what movement

A

homolateral movement

30
Q

who develops writing and drawing skills earlier and why

A

girls develop writing and drawing skills earlier than boys, due to earlier neurological maturity

31
Q

what period is fundamental movement skills

A

2 years - 6/7 years

32
Q

what are the characteristics of fundamental movement skills

A
  • unique movement pattern
  • near universality of outcome
  • generalisation to a broad set of skills
33
Q

what do kids learn when they develop fundamental movement skills

A

IPA / CPA = integrative / compensatory postural adjustments

APA = anticipatory postural adjustments

34
Q

what is an important rate limiter in context specific period

A

important rate limiter is the development of perceptual cognitive capabilities

35
Q

what is the compensation period

A

a time when the system adapts, or compensates for detrimentral changes in organismic constraints
