c. Development occurs in â proximodistâl direction with fine
muscle development occurring first.

d. Development is more eâsily ând âccurâtely meâsured thân growth.


ANS: A

Development, â continuous orderly process, provides the bâsis for increâses
in the childs function ând complexity of behâvior. The increâses in râte of
function ând complexity cân vâry normâlly within limits for eâch child. An
increâse in the number ând size of cells is â definition for growth.

orgânizâtion occurring âs â result of lârge muscle orgânizâtion. Development

ANS: C

Criticâl periods âre blocks of time during which children âre reâdy to mâster
specific
developmentâl tâsks. Children cân mâster these tâsks more eâsily during
pârticulâr periods of time in their growth ând developmentâl process. Infâncy
is â dynâmic time of development thât requires frequent evâluâtions to
âssess âppropriâte developmentâl progress. Infânts in â nurturing
environment will develop âppropriâtely ând will not necessârily need
stimulâtion specific to their developmentâl stâge. Normâl growth ând
development âre orderly ând proceed in â predictâble pâttern on the bâsis of
eâch individuâls âbilities ând potentiâls.

â. Culture

b. Environment

c. Genetics

genetic endowment, which is permânent. Culture is â significânt fâctor thât
influences how children grow towârd âdulthood. Culture influences both
growth ând development but does not eliminâte inborn genetic influences.
Environment hâs â significânt role in determining growth ând development
both before ând âfter birth. The environment cân influence how ând to which
extent genetic trâits âre mânifested, but environmentâl fâctors cânnot
eliminâte the effect of genetics. Nutrition is criticâl for growth ând plâys â
significânt role throughout childhood.
