d. Development Is More Easily And Accurately Measured Than Growth.


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.

2. Frequent Developmental Assessments Are Important For Which Reason?

To Identify Any Delays Or Deficits.

b. Infants Need Stimulation Specific To The Stage Of Development.

c. Critical Periods Of Development Occur During Childhood.

, Answer:C

Critical Periods Are Blocks Of Time During Which Children Are Ready To Master

Particular Periods Of Time In Their Growth And Developmental Process. Infancy Is A
Dynamic Time Of Development That Requires Frequent Evaluations To Assess

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.

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.
