Question 1

In gaining gross motor control,it is more important for a child to get into the position than to be in the position.

Accepted Answer

Getting into the position allows the child to practice and develop their gross motor skills, while being in the position is a result of having gained control over their movements.

Question 2

Being concerned about the quality of development in each stage means that&#10;A)caregivers insure infants reach developmental milestones on schedule.&#10;B)caregivers lead children to guarantee development.&#10;C)caregivers are trained in the diagnosis and prescription method of activities.&#10;D)None of these answers is correct.

Accepted Answer

The statement implies a general concern for quality in development, not specific actions or guarantees by caregivers.

Question 3

An infant's ability to move from one place to another is referred to as ____________.&#10;A)the rooting reflex&#10;B)fine motor awareness&#10;C)locomotion&#10;D)proximal growth

Accepted Answer

Locomotion refers to an infant's ability to move from one place to another, such as crawling or walking. The rooting reflex is a reaction where an infant turns its head towards a stimulus that touches its cheek or mouth. Fine motor awareness refers to an infant's ability to control and coordinate smaller movements, like grasping objects. Proximal growth refers to growth in the parts of the body closest to the center, such as the torso and head.

Question 4

Children grow rapidly in a nurturing environment.By their first birthday,most children's weight has ____________.&#10;A)tripled&#10;B)quadrupled&#10;C)doubled&#10;D)increased by an average of 10 lbs

Accepted Answer

By their first birthday, most children's weight has typically tripled from their birth weight.

Question 5

The cephalocaudal principle emphasizes that the growth pattern in children begins with the ____________.&#10;A)feet and moves to the head&#10;B)head and moves to the feet&#10;C)senses&#10;D)development of attachment

Accepted Answer

The cephalocaudal principle refers to the idea that development begins in the head and progresses downward towards the feet. This means that earlier growth and development in infants and young children is focused on the head, including the brain, sensory organs, and muscles used for feeding and communication. As a child grows and matures, development moves further down towards the trunk and limbs, leading to the acquisition of gross and fine motor skills.

Question 6

Gross motor skills that toddlers use include wandering,carrying,and dumping.

Accepted Answer

Gross motor skills involve larger muscle movements and include activities such as walking, running, jumping, carrying objects, and exploring the environment. Wandering, carrying, and dumping are all examples of gross motor skills that toddlers use.

Question 7

The overall development in the hands and fingers is known as ____________.&#10;A)grasping&#10;B)gross motor skills&#10;C)Moro&#10;D)manipulation

Accepted Answer

The term "manipulation" refers to the overall development of fine motor skills in the hands and fingers, including abilities such as picking up small objects with precision, using utensils to eat or draw, and tying shoelaces. Grasping (A) refers specifically to the ability to grip objects with the hand, while gross motor skills (B) involve larger muscle groups and movements. The Moro reflex (C) is an automatic response present in infants that is triggered by sudden movements or loud noises.

Question 8

Within a year and a half,most infants have learned many of the basic motor skills.

Accepted Answer

Most infants have learned basic motor skills within the first year and a half of their life.

Question 9

The brain reaches nearly 90% of its adult weight by age ____________.&#10;A)three&#10;B)two&#10;C)six&#10;D)None of these answers is correct.

Accepted Answer
