Wk1: Developmental Milestones

Which developmental theory suggests that reflexes are the building blocks of motor development?

At what month would you expect a baby to be able to maintain upright head posture in prone?

List the motor movements you would expect of a baby in utero. Hand to [blank_start]mouth[blank_end] Touching the [blank_start]body[blank_end] Touching the [blank_start]uterine[blank_end] wall [blank_start]Reciprocal[blank_end] kicking

Which of the following motor milestones would you not see at 4/12?

The following are normal variations of a crawl: [blank_start]Bottom[blank_end] shuffle Repetitive [blank_start]rolling[blank_end] [blank_start]Bear[blank_end] walk

You would expect to see visually directed reach by 6 months

The walking reflex should disappear at 2 months

What should a baby be able to do before attempting to crawl (6/12)?

3 reasons why a child might not walk: Lack of ability to activate [blank_start]LL extensor[blank_end] activity Lack of [blank_start]selective[blank_end] movement of LL (elimination of massed activity) Lack of ability to maintain [blank_start]postural[blank_end] control of the head/trunk

4 requirements of UL function: [blank_start]Visual[blank_end] fixation to localise object & choose hand transport program Foveal analysis for identification of the object needed for [blank_start]anticipatory[blank_end] adaptation of the action to fit object [blank_start]Manual[blank_end] capture [blank_start]Object[blank_end] manipulation

Match the action with the name of the relfex: [blank_start]Oral[blank_end] = swallowing & sucking [blank_start]Moro[blank_end] = tip baby back and arms go up [blank_start]Grasp[blank_end] = tip baby back and baby grabs [blank_start]Crossed extension[blank_end] = like a heel to shin [blank_start]Parachute[blank_end] = dangle baby prone and limbs extend out [blank_start]Asymmentrical Tonic[blank_end] Neck Reflex (ATNR) = arms up, neck to one side

Development occurs in a caudocephalic direction

Match the name of the theory to the key components of the theory: Development occurs as CNS matures = [blank_start]Neural maturationist[blank_end] There are alternating periods of equilibrium and disequilibrium = [blank_start]Cognitive-piagetian[blank_end] First actions are reflexes, later ations are voluntary = [blank_start]Cognitive-piagetian[blank_end] Development occurs as you recognise the affordances oft he enviro. and choose the most appropriate response to task = [blank_start]Dynamical system[blank_end] Reflexes are the building blocks of movement = [blank_start]Neural maturationist[blank_end] Development occurs as there is interaction between cognition and enviro. = [blank_start]Cognitive Piagetian[blank_end] Developmental stages happen due to multiple coordinating systems = [blank_start]Dynamical systems[blank_end]

In development, the [blank_start]sequence[blank_end] of movement in the same, but the [blank_start]rate[blank_end] is different
