Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The proximodistal pattern refers to the physical development that occurs from the center of the body outwards. In this case, Natalie's hand movements are progressing from her whole hand to her fingers, which is consistent with the proximodistal pattern. The other answer options (lateralization, endarch, and cephalocaudal) refer to different patterns of development that are not applicable to this situation.
