Define Growth and Development
The sequence of physical, psychosocial, and cognitive developmental changes that take place over the human lifespan
Growth and development occurs as a simultaneous, ongoing interrelationship with what three aspects of change?
Growth , Differentiation , Maturation
Growth and development are measured by what four metrics?
physical growth, developmental tasks, differentiation, maturation
Define physiological development
refers to the growth and changes in body tissues and organ systems and the resultant changes in body functions and proportions.
What causes physiological development?
cellular growth as a normal part of body development
Examples of physiological development
infant hematopoietic maturity secondary sexual characteristic development leading to sexual function
What two categories is motoric development broken down into?
gross motor and fine motor
Does progression of motoric skills go from the achievement of gross motor skills to fine motor skills or from fine motor skills to gross motor skills?
It progresses from achievement of gross motor to fine motor skills
What do you call the process of progressing from the achievment of gross motor skills to the achievement of fine motor skills?
the process is called refinement.
Gross motor skills involve the use of what?
large muscles
Fine motor skills involve the use of what?
small muscles
Name five examples of gross motor skills
sitting, standing, maintaining balance, walking, running, walking up stairs without assistance, playing soccer
Name five examples of fine motor skills
batting at an object, reaching and holding an object, transferring an object from hand to hand, holding a pencil in a refined grasp, making marks with a pencil, writing letters, writing words, creating masterful artwork, using hands and fingers to eat, using hands and fingers to draw, using hands and fingers to dress and play
Cause of fine motoric development
is contingent upon cognitive and neurologic development
define social and emotional development
development of self-understanding, understanding others, and understanding social interactions.
What order does social and emotional development usually occur in?
They usually occur in this order: self, others, social interaction
Why is knowledge of social/emotional skills critical?
it directs effective communication with an individual(s) and may impact suggested environmental strategies for an individual to attain optimal functioning.
What four items make up the definition of cognitive development?
working memory capacity, cognitive self-regulation, processing and use of information about the environment and objects in the environment, understanding the relationships between self and this information
What do cognitive development “outcomes” underlie?
the development of critical thinking skills and executive functioning
What is included in critical thinking and executive functioning?
learning, forming concepts, understanding, problem solving, reasoning, remembering, and thinking abstractly.
What do the complex aspects of cognitive development in combination with advanced social/emotional developmental stages enable?
moral and spiritual development
What is the definition of communication?
Communication is a process that requires both receptive and expressive skills.
Who is language shared by?
a group of people
Language involves a set of rules that allows the communication of what three things?
thoughts, ideas, emotions
What 2 skills does communication require?
receptive and expressive skills
What are the three components of speech?
articulation, voice, fluency
What is expressive language function?
ability to develop and express one’s own thoughts, ideas, and emotions
What is receptive language function?
The ability to hear and understand what others say
What six things do speech and language development synergistically occur with?
cognitive development
neurologic development
fine motor development
requires optimal sensory function (hearing),
requires sensory integration,
and interactional relationships to develop and refine
When does the language explosion or “period of exuberance” occur?
18 months to 3 years of age
What part of the brain is developed in the “period of exuberance”?
The frontal lobe
Why is the language explosion or “period of exuberance” a critical time?
If significant language and speech gains are not made during this time, the delay may result in learning disorders.
