principles -(ANSWER) individual differences states that people develop at different rates;
function of nature and nurture
patterns -(ANSWER) directionally is an intrinsic nature to out growth (ex: head to toe, near to
far, simple to complex)
cephalocaudal pattern -(ANSWER) head to toe
proximodistal pattern -(ANSWER) near to far
canalization -(ANSWER) if development is deflected or differed, the natural pattern will pick
back up again, tendency for growth to return to a normal pattern
