FAD 3220 EXAM 2 WITH THE CORRECT
ANSWERS
Childhood obesity - nhcorrect answer- common factors: genetic factors, lack of physical activity,
unhealthy eating patterns, combination of these factors, (rarely) medical conditions
increased dramatically in the last 4 decades=decline in lifespan in U.S.
Nutrition - nhcorrect answer- adequate _____________ is related to social and emotional functioning
such as: peer involvement, positive emotions, less anxiety, eagerness to explore, persistence in
frustrating situations, higher energy levels
,children who don't eat breakfast perform poorly in problem-solving tasks
Gross motor activity - nhcorrect answer- skipping, balancing, jumping jacks, can grip objects with 12
pounds of pressure, throwing a small ball, jumping, running, catching, standing broad jump, high jump,
etc.
Fine motor activity - nhcorrect answer- •6 & 7 y/o- tie shoes and fasten buttons
•8- use each hand independently
•11 & 12- manipulate objects with almost as much capability as they will show in adulthood
Advances in fine motor skills - nhcorrect answer- increase in amount of myelin in the brain significantly
increases between the ages of 6 and 8
myelin- insulates nerve fibers, contains only 18% protein and 76% lipid
Visual impairment - nhcorrect answer- difficulty seeing that may include blindness and partial
sightedness
Auditory impairment - nhcorrect answer- a special need that involves the loss of hearing or some aspect
of hearing
Speech impairment - nhcorrect answer- speech that deviates so much from the speech of others that it

pace, even if this means skipping to higher grade levels
Piaget stages - nhcorrect answer- sensorimotor: birth-18/24 months, object permanence
preoperational: 2-7 years, symbolic thought
concrete operational: 7-11 years, operational thought
formal operational: adolescence-adulthood, abstract concepts
Reversibility - nhcorrect answer- the notion that processes transforming a stimulus can be reversed,
returning it to its original form
Decentering - nhcorrect answer- the ability to take multiple aspects of a situation into account
Information processing approach - nhcorrect answer- children handle information with increasing
sophistication
Memory - nhcorrect answer- the process by which information is initially recorded, stored, and retrieved
Vygotsky's approach - nhcorrect answer- cognitive advances occur through exposure to information
within a child's zone of proximal development
