Growth & development - ANSWER-A sequence of physical, psychosocial
& cognitive developmental changes occurring over the human lifespan.
Physical/Physiological Development - ANSWER-Changes in body tissues
& organ systems resulting in changes in body functions & proportions.
Physiological development - ANSWER-Includes cellular proliferation,
differentiation, & maturation in organ systems for integrated human
functioning.
Motor Development - ANSWER-Progression from gross to fine motor
skills, involving large or small muscle use, respectively.
Gross motor skills - ANSWER-Use of large muscles for activities like
sitting, standing, walking, and running.
Fine motor skills - ANSWER-Precise use of small muscles, such as writing
or transferring objects hand to hand.
Social/Emotional Development - ANSWER-Involves self-understanding,
understanding others, and social interactions.
Cognitive Development - ANSWER-Relates to working memory, cognitive
self-regulation, and critical thinking skills.

sounds to phrases and sentences, influenced by cognitive and motor
development.
Adaptive Development - ANSWER-Acquisition of skills enabling

Expected Development - ANSWER-Demonstrating physical maturation,
physiological function, and tasks associated with chronological age.
Developmental level - ANSWER-Individual's stage of development or
ability to achieve outcomes independently.
Developmental milestone - ANSWER-An ability or skill most individuals
can achieve within a specific age range.
Abnormal development - ANSWER-Failure to achieve milestones within
an age range, indicating neurologic or cognitive maturation issues.

despite chronological age progression.
Developmental Theory - ANSWER-Processes from conception to death
influenced by endocrine, genetic, constitutional, and nutritional factors.
