Body GrowthBody Growth
Gain 50% in height from birth to age 1. 75% by age 2
Grow in spurts
Gain 50% in height from birth to age 1. 75% by age 2
Grow in spurts
Gain “baby fat” until about 9
months, then get slimmer
Girls slightly shorter and
lighter than boys.

Brain PlasticityBrain Plasticity
In infants and young children, parts of brain are not yet specialized
Recover better from brain injury Language recovers better
than spatial skills Still have some problems with
complex mental skills
Older children, even adults, have some plasticity

Sensitive Periods in Brain DevelopmentSensitive Periods in Brain Development
Experience-expectant growth Ordinary experiences “expected”
by brain to grow normally
Experience-dependent growth Additional growth as a result of
specific learning experiences

Motor Development: Sequence and TrendsMotor Development: Sequence and Trends
Gross motor development Crawling, standing, and walking
Fine motor development Reaching and grasping
Sequence is fairly uniform, though individual rate of motor progress differs

Motor Skills as Dynamic SystemsMotor Skills as Dynamic Systems
Increasingly complex systems of action with each skill
Each new skill is joint product of:1. CNS development
2. Body’s movement capacity
3. Child’s goals
4. Environmental supports

Differentiation Theory Differentiation Theory
Infants:1. Search for invariant features of the
environment.
2. Note stable relationships between features:
Visual patterns, intermodal relationships
3. Gradually detect finer and finer features:
