Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pattern Betsy observed is known as proximodistal development, where muscle control tends to develop from the center of the body towards the extremities. Option B, cephalocaudal, refers to the pattern of development where growth and control tend to occur from the head down to the feet. Options C and D, the zone of proximal development and scaffolding, refer to concepts related to learning and development in children, but are not related to the observed pattern of muscular control.
