Stage of Birth

Stage 1: Stretching/dilating the uterus to 10cm/4 inches. It can take up to 24 hours

Stage 2: Baby coming through the birth canal and out of the body. Can take hours

Stage 3: Delivery of the placenta after birth

Motor Development

Study of change in human motor behaviour over the life span

What are the 4 domains of human development?

Cognitive Domain

Affective Domain

Motor Domain

Physical Domain

Physical Domain

Development of human movement and related factors (Has to do with size)

Cognitive Domain

Concerns about human intellectual development

Affective Domain

concerns the social and emotional aspects of human development

Motor Domain

Development of human movement and related factors (Ability to move)

Growth

Changes are only in the body and not intercultural. It is quantitative (Deals with numbers) ex getting taller

Maturation

the action or process of maturing (Becoming an adult). It is qualitative(descriptive)

Development

Maturation and growth togther

Cephalocaudal

development progressing from the head to the tail. ex, throwing is easier to learn than kicking because arms develop first.

Proximodirtal

Development from the center of the body outwards. learn to use arms before finger tips

Gross motor

Movement is controlled by large muscles or muscle groups. ex running because it uses your whole body

FIne motor

Movement is controlled by the small muscles or muscle groups. ex using a pencil

Infant

First year of life

Neonatal Period

First 28 days/4 weeks after birth

Menarche

When girls start their period for the first time

Teratogen

Environmental agents that cause harm to the embryo/fetus

Prenatal Period

Week 9 to birth

Babys measurments at birth

19-20 inches long and weighing 7-8 pounds

Intrinsic Movement

Coordinated movements of the individual digits used to manage an object in the hand ex. be able to hold a pencil

Extrinsic movements

displace the hand

and the in-hand object via the upper limb movement ex swing a bat because you use your upper arm for that

Simple synergies

Involves all hand movements in which the action of all the digits is similar. ex. squeezing a rubber ball, pinching

Reciprocal synergies

are combinations of movements involving the thumb and other involved digits reciprocally and simultaneously interacting to produce relatively dissimilar movements. The coordinated and opposing actions of different muscle groups to produce specific movements. ex. twiddling of the thumbs

Sequential patterns

involve a specific sequence of hand movements toward a goal. ex tying a knot

Recumbent length

measured from birth until a child is able to stand

recumbent knee height

measuring the knee height to estimate your hieght
