Early Motor Development
![Page 2: Chapter 5 Early Motor Development. Early Motor Behavior Can be reflexive or spontaneous (Clark, 1995) Reflexive: stereotypical response elicited by a.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081512/56649cca5503460f94992d8a/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Early Motor Behavior
• Can be reflexive or spontaneous (Clark, 1995)
• Reflexive: stereotypical response elicited by a specific external stimuli
• Spontaneous: movements not caused by known external stimuli
![Page 3: Chapter 5 Early Motor Development. Early Motor Behavior Can be reflexive or spontaneous (Clark, 1995) Reflexive: stereotypical response elicited by a.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081512/56649cca5503460f94992d8a/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Spontaneous Behaviors
• Assumed to be extraneous movements with no purpose
• Similar to “mature” movements• Examples
– Spontaneous arm movements and reaching– Spontaneous kicking and adult walking

Reflexes
• Reflexes occur quickly after onset of stimuli.
• They involve a single or specific group of muscles (not the whole body).
• They resist habituation (at any one time).• Persistence may indicate neurological
problems.
![Page 6: Chapter 5 Early Motor Development. Early Motor Behavior Can be reflexive or spontaneous (Clark, 1995) Reflexive: stereotypical response elicited by a.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081512/56649cca5503460f94992d8a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Purpose of Reflexes
• Built-in responses facilitate survival.• They enable open dialogue with the
environment.• Reflexive movements result in sensory
consequences (adaptation).• Reflexes provide building blocks for future
movement.

Constraints
What constraints exist during the reflexive period?– Structural– Functional– Environmental physical– Environmental sociocultural– Task: goals, rules, equipment
![Page 14: Chapter 5 Early Motor Development. Early Motor Behavior Can be reflexive or spontaneous (Clark, 1995) Reflexive: stereotypical response elicited by a.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081512/56649cca5503460f94992d8a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Later Infancy
• Gain voluntary control of movements
• Understanding of environment, objects in the environment
• Meaningful interactions with others
• Postural reactions
![Page 15: Chapter 5 Early Motor Development. Early Motor Behavior Can be reflexive or spontaneous (Clark, 1995) Reflexive: stereotypical response elicited by a.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081512/56649cca5503460f94992d8a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Postural Reactions
• Begin at around 4 months
• Help to maintain posture in a changing environment
• Initially, similar to reflexes; later, incorporated into general repertoire
![Page 16: Chapter 5 Early Motor Development. Early Motor Behavior Can be reflexive or spontaneous (Clark, 1995) Reflexive: stereotypical response elicited by a.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081512/56649cca5503460f94992d8a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Motor Milestones
• Fundamental motor skills– Building blocks– Cumulative, sequential– Lead to future complex motor skills
• Specific movements that lead to general actions

• Rapidly changing during early childhood periods
