Midterm- Week 2 PPT 2 Flashcards
What 5 components influence the child’s ability to use their hands effectively?
- cognition
- motivation/ attention to task/ focus
- sensorimotor control
- sensory perception
- muscles/ posture
What are the 4 precursors to fine motor development?
1) postural control
2) touch perception
3) hand muscle and finger development
4) bilateral coordination
What is postural control?
Head, trunk and shoulder girdle stability great a secure base for performance
What is touch perception?
Poor tactile perception may result in clumsy inconsistent performance
What is hand muscle and finger muscle dev?
Hand and finger muscles must be strong and work together- fine motor dexterity
What is bilateral coordination?
Ability to use both sides of the body together
What are the 3 stages of motor learning for grasp?
1) exploratory- 3-5 months
2) perceptual learning/ transitional stage- 6-12 months
3) skill achievement/ adaptability and flexibility- 12-24 months
What is the exploratory stage for grasp?
Infants squeeze object without using their thumb
Can not move or manipulate objects in hand
What is the perceptual learning/ transitional stage for grasp?
Radial Palmer and radial digital grasping starts to engage
Infant starts to use thumbs to grasp objects
Infant cannot move object within hand but can move object hand to hand and explore with mouth
What is the skill achievement/ adaptability and flexibility stage for grasp?
Infant demonstrates pincer grasp (12 months)
Precision release (18 months)
Grasp is dynamic, allowing tool use (2 years)
What are the 3 stages of motor learning for reach?
1) exploratory- 1-3 months
2) perceptual learning/ transitional stage- 3-6 months
3) skill achievement/ adaptability and flexibility- 6-9 months
What is the exploratory stage for reach?
Swipes at objects
Reach is inaccurate
Infant cannot combine reach and grasp
What is the perceptual learning/ transitional stage for reach?
More accurate and direct
Reaches into midline
Combines reach and grasp with both hands by 6 months
What is the skill achievement/ adaptability and flexibility stage for reach?
Reaches with one or 2 hands
Accurate and direct reach
Can change direction of reach midstream
Can reach in all directions by 8-9 months
Reach is smooth and efficient
Easily combines reach and grasp and can carry objects in space
What are pre writing dev for a child 1-2 years old?
Scribbling
Imitating vertical and horizontal lines and circular scribbles
What are pre writing dev for a child 2-3 years old?
Imitating cross
Copying vertical line, horizontal line and circle
