7When movement occurs as the nervous system matures: [blank_start]hierarchical[blank_end]
When movement emerges from an interaction between the nervous system, body, environment, and the task: [blank_start]systems view[blank_end]
[blank_start]In hierarchical[blank_end]:
- reflexes are distinct from voluntary movement and must be suppressed/inhibited
- reflexes reappear if there is CNS damage or if needed to support certain activities
[blank_start]In Systems Approach[blank_end]:
- [blank_start]Nonlinear[blank_end] --> multiple interacting subsystems including: body build characteristics,
musculoskeletal, arousal, sensory, perceptual interacting with immediate environment
- [blank_start]Behavior[blank_end] as emergent; no central pattern generator; even reflexes are not hardwired but the result of the convergence of multiple systems- Ahierarchical

9If there is a loss of a stepping reflex, how would they present themselves in the two theories?
increase in weight in legs, but infant can still demonstrate reflex in water --> [blank_start]dynamic system[blank_end]
maturation of higher brain centers/nervous system --> [blank_start]hierarchial[blank_end]- Adynamic system

15What are the four components of the spatiotemporal adaptation theory?

16[blank_start]Movement[blank_end]: primitive to efficient; environmental challenges support development of complex thinking and acting; both intrinsically and extrinsically motivated
[blank_start]Spiraling Continuum[blank_end]: Environmental stimulation/challenges cause “spatiotemporal stress” versus “distress”
[blank_start]Adaptation[blank_end]: process of expanding child’s repertoire of movements and activities
[blank_start]Environment[blank_end]: Child, others, objects, supporting surface, gravitational and 3 dimensional space- AMovement

17These are the environmental components of spatiotemporal adaptation:
[blank_start]Holding Function[blank_end]: supports/embeds the infant
[blank_start]Challenge[blank_end]: helps child reach higher levels of potential
[blank_start]Interactive[blank_end]: promotes back-and-forth between self and environment
[blank_start]Facilitating[blank_end]: provides source of stimulation- motivation to move- AHolding Function
- BChallenge
- CInteractive
- DFacilitating
18Which of the following are characteristics of the spiraling continuum?
- APreviously acquired patterns are called forward to adapt to the challenge or new experience
- BPreviously acquired patterns are used to meet the environmental demand with success eliminating the stressful situation
- CProcess of expanding child’s repertoire of movements and activities
- DChild, others, objects, supporting surface, gravitational and 3 dimensional space
- EWith maturation of CNS, higher level functions emerge
19How is the spiraling continuum process stalled in children with disabilities?
- AIt doesn't affect children with disabilities
- BIt causes distress, which alters equilibrium and prevents higher levels of learning to emerge
- CIt stalls briefly but then returns to normal
20What are lower level strategies used during a normal course of development?

21Check all of the following that represent the spatiotemporal adaptation theory.

23[blank_start]Muscle tone[blank_end]- gives muscle rigidity; (enough tension on muscle for weight shift with enough give for quick changes in movement)
[blank_start]Postural tone[blank_end]-adds to muscle tone in extensor muscles that work against gravity
[blank_start]Postural fixation[blank_end]- acts to maintain joint position against internal or external force; obtained by joint co-contraction of antagonist muscles around the joints
