Q

Lateralisation and dominance

A

Lateralisation: Process by which brain develops preferred side for hand, foot, eye and ear use

Dominance: end-product of this process

Q

Laterality

A

Develops through experiencing and moving left and right side of body separately and together. This is how sense of direction develops

Q

Eye movements

A

Control which a child has over eye movements, which allows for visual tracking, quick localisation and convergence and later allows for eye movements when reading

16
Q

Motor control

A

Control with which movement is performed with regard to accuracy and fluency

17
Q

Muscle Tone

A

Tension that’s present in a muscle. Helps muscles to be ready for action and is a basis for coordinated movements

18
Q

Self regulation

A

Ability to adapt behavior to changes through internal processes, which accompanies behaviour to maintain control over behaviour

19
Q

Registration

A

Refers to point at which sensory information is registered by brain and is dependent on neurological threshold of that specific sensory system
