,A Development, a continuous and orderly process, provides the basis for
increases
in the child's function and complexity of behavior. The increases in rate of
function and complexity can vary normally within limits for each child.
B An increase in the number and size of cells is a definition for growth.
C Development proceeds in a proximodistal direction with fine muscle
organization occurring as a result of large muscle organization.
D 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.
Frequent developmental assessments are important for which reason?
a. Stable developmental periods during infancy provide an opportunity to
identify
any delays or deficits.
b. Infants need stimulation specific to the stage of development.
c. Critical periods of development occur during childhood.

✔✔ANS: C
Feedback
A Infancy is a dynamic time of development that requires frequent
evaluations to
assess appropriate developmental progress.
B Infants in a nurturing environment will develop appropriately and will not
necessarily need stimulation specific to their developmental stage.
C Critical periods are blocks of time during which children are ready to
master
specific developmental tasks. The earlier those delays in development are
discovered and intervention initiated, the less dramatic their effect will be.
D Normal growth and development is orderly and proceeds in a predictable
pattern
based on each individual's abilities and potentials.
Which factor has the greatest influence on child growth and development?
a. Culture
