ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
ANSWERS
Principles of growth and development - CORRECT ANSWER Occurs within certain
time periods with allowance for individual difference in the rate of development
Cephalocaudal - CORRECT ANSWER Development of the body proceeds top to
bottom. For example, babies gain control of their head before their legs.
Proximaldistal - CORRECT ANSWER Development of the body proceeds center of
the body outward. For example, babies spinal cord forms first to become a fetus or your core
forms before hands and feet.
Orthogenetic - CORRECT ANSWER Development of the body proceeds from the
simple to complex. For example, a child learns how to crawl before they walk or they learn
addition before multiplication.
Human Development - CORRECT ANSWER a process that moves through the stages
of infancy, childhood, adolescence, and adulthood.

fine motor skills - CORRECT ANSWER physical abilities involving small body
movements, especially of the hands and fingers, such as drawing and picking up a coin
Factors that influence gross and fine motor - CORRECT ANSWER growth of the
child, genetics, environment, muscle tone, and gender
Motor development stages - CORRECT ANSWER -1-2 (Newborn): limited control of
eye, head, and arm movements. No postural control or locomotion
-3 months: Increasing control of head and eye movements, learning to roll over
-6 months: sit independently; skilled reaching and beginnings of object exploration
-9 months: crawling, pull up to standing, standing with help; fine motor skills improving,
means-ends actions
-12 months: walking
