10
Q
Theories of motor development
A
- Maturation
- Experiential
- Interactionist Perspective
11
Q
Maturation Theory
A
- Sequential
* Regardless of culture
12
Q
Experiential Theory
A
- Through learning experience
- Maturation is sufficient, BUT not enough
- Dennis, 1960 study results: bc of little stimulation did not develop to the rate of a child that was being stimulated
13
Q
Interactionist Perspective
A
•Esther Thelen •Motor skills developed through infants effort (have to be active) • Effortful • Motivated (want to do what they see) • Visual Orientation 1. Exploring 2. Selection
14
Q
Visual Orientation
A
- Exploring (seeing diff. methods)
2. Selection (select helpful method)
15
Q
Gross motor (large)
A
- large muscle movement
* arms, legs
