c.Develöpment öccurs in a pröximödistal directiön with fine muscle develöpment
öccurring first.
d.Develöpment is möre easily and accurately measured than gröwth.
ANS: A
Develöpment, a cöntinuöus örderly pröcess, prövides the basis för increases in the childs
functiön and cömplexity öf behaviör. The increases in rate öf functiön and cömplexity can vary
nörmally within limits för each child. An increase in the number and size öf cells is a definitiön
för gröwth. Develöpment pröceeds in a pröximödistal directiön with fine muscle örganizatiön
öccurring as a result öf large muscle örganizatiön. Develöpment is a möre cömplex pröcess that
is affected by many factörs; thereföre, it is less easily and accurately measured. Gröwth is a
predictable pröcess with standard measurement methöds.
