Best Describes Development In Infants And Children?

a. Development, A Predictable And Orderly Process, Occurs At Varying Rates

ANSWER: A

Development, A Continuous Orderly Process, Provides The Basis For Increases In The Childs
Function And Complexity Of Behavior. The Increases In Rate Of Function And Complexity
Can Vary Normally Within Limits For Each Child. An Increase In The Number And Size Of
Cells Is A Definition For Growth. Development Proceeds In A Proximodistal Direction With
Fine Muscle Organization Occurring As A Result Of Large Muscle Organization. Development
Is A More Complex Process That Is Affected By Many Factors; Therefore, It Is Less Easily
And Accurately Measured. Growth Is A Predictable Process With Standard Measurement
Methods.

ANSWER: C

Critical Periods Are Blocks Of Time During Which Children Are Ready To Master Specific
Developmental Tasks. Children Can Master These Tasks More Easily During Particular Periods
Of Time In Their Growth And Developmental Process. Infancy Is A Dynamic Time Of
Development That Requires Frequent Evaluations To Assess Appropriate Developmental
Progress. Infants In A Nurturing Environment Will Develop Appropriately And Will Not
Necessarily Need Stimulation Specific To Their Developmental Stage. Normal Growth And
Development Are Orderly And Proceed In A Predictable Pattern On The Basis Of Each
Individuals Abilities And Potentials.

3. Which Factor Has The Greatest Influence On Child Growth And Development?

a. Culture

b. Environment

c. Genetics

d. Nutrition


ANSWER: C

Genetic Factors (Heredity) Determine Each Individuals Growth And Developmental Rate.
Although Factors Such As Environment, Culture, Nutrition, And Family Can Influence Genetic
Traits, They Do Not Eliminate The Effect Of The Genetic Endowment, Which Is Permanent.
Culture Is A Significant Factor That Influences How Children Grow Toward Adulthood. Culture
Influences Both Growth And Development But Does Not Eliminate Inborn Genetic Influences.
Environment Has A Significant Role In Determining Growth And Development Both Before
And After Birth. The Environment Can Influence How And To Which Extent Genetic Traits Are
Manifested, But Environmental Factors Cannot Eliminate The Effect Of Genetics. Nutrition Is
Critical For Growth And Plays A Significant Role Throughout Childhood.
