ANS: A ss




Development, a continuous orderly process, provides the basis for increases in the childs
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




ss function and complexity of behavior. The increases in rate of function and complexitycan vary
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss s ss




ss normally within limits for each child. An increase in the number and size of cells is a
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




ss definition for growth. Development proceeds in a proximodistal direction with fine muscle
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




ss organization occurring as a result of large muscle organization. Development is a more
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




s s complex process that is affected by many factors; therefore, it is less easily and accurately

ss measured. Growth is a predictable process with standard measurement methods.

ANS: C ss




Critical periods are blocks of time during which children are ready to master specific
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




ss developmental tasks. Children can master these tasks more easily during particular periods of
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




ss time in their growth and developmental process. Infancy is a dynamic time of development that
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




ss requires frequent evaluations to assess appropriate developmental progress. Infants in a
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




s s nurturing environment will develop appropriately and will not necessarily need stimulation
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




ss specific to their developmental stage. Normal growth and development are orderly and proceed
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




ss 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?
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss s s ss ss




a. Culture

b. Environment

c. Genetics

d. Nutrition


ANS: C ss




Genetic factors (heredity) determine each individuals growth and developmental rate. Although
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




ss factors such as environment, culture, nutrition, and family can influence genetic traits, they do
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




ss not eliminate the effect of the genetic endowment, which is permanent. Culture is a significant
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




ss factor that influences how children grow toward adulthood. Culture influences both growth
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




ss and development but does not eliminate inborn genetic influences. Environment has a
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




ss significant role in determining growth and development both before and after birth. The
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




ss environment can influence how and to which extent genetic traits are manifested, but
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss s s




ss environmental factors cannot eliminate the effect of genetics. Nutrition is critical for growth
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss




ss and plays a significant role throughout childhood.
