Principles of growth and development - describe how the process of growth takes place; cephalocaudal,
Proximodistal, orthogenetic
cephalocaudal principle - development process from top to bottom
proximodistal principle - Involves the direction of development that proceeds from the center of the
body outward.
orthogenetic principle - Does not involve the direction of development. Development proceeds from the
simple to the complex.
sensorimotor stage - in Piaget's theory, the stage during which infants know the world mostly in terms
of their sensory impressions and motor activities
Use of reflexes (birth to 1 month) - Instinctively responds to stimuli
primary circular reactions (1-4 months) - Repeats instinctive behavior due to the likeness of result.
Secondary Circular Reactions (4-8 months) - Purposeful behavior after accidental discovery.
coordination of secondary circular reactions (8-12 months) - Chooses actions for themselves
Tertiary circular reactions (12-18 months) - Showing variations of certain actions.

5 observable behaviors - engaged in a clear activity with a beginning, middle, and end. Activity is
irresistible. Return to activity again and again. Develop an emotional attachment. Appear satisfied when
