QuestionAnswer
knowledge of typical, or normative developmental and occupational performance is critical for identifying issues and create appropriate interventions and to identify facilitators or barriers of child participation why do we need to understand typical development?
what is important to parent, other professionals, yourself, or the child well - being
play, self-care, social participation, sleep occupations of childhood
family member, friend, student roles of childhood
theory: Mary Reilly; play cultivates feelings of mastery as child confronts conflict; hierarchical states: exploration, competency, and achievement theory of occupational behavior
hierarchical state of theory of occupational behavior: arises from an inherent interest in the environment; intrinsic motivation; sensory experiences; ex. lighting, presence of others exploration
hierarchical state of theory of occupational behavior: development of preference for certain play objects; seek to produce effects with play object purposefully and repeatedly; learn consequences from success and failure competency
hierarchical state of theory of occupational behavior: challenge his/her own abilities and amount of effort needed to bring a desired outcome, requires risk taking and reflection of skills achievement
state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being; not merely absence of disease and infirmity health
emphasizes person and his/her impairments as a cause of disease, trauma, or other health condition; managed by change in healthcare policy; treat individuals to fix the problem medical model
loss of function associated with a disease, trauma, or health condition as an attribute of social environment; managed by change in social policy; lack of access, modifying environment social model
purpose of emphasizing health, de-emphasizing concept of disability, continuum of function, 2 major components: health condition and context ICF
designed to record characteristics of developing child and influence of its surrounding environment ICF - CY
client's perception of participation in society and performance in preferred life roles -> engagement in ability to perform life roles and tasks -> specific abilities and performance skills; what do they want to achieve?; big pic; occupation-centered top - down
specific abilities & performance skills -> engagement in ability to perform life roles & tasks -> ct's perception of participation in society and performance in preferred life roles; restoring skills = successful participation; more medical/biomed models bottom - up
ex. UE ROM and MMT, balance, coordination, sensation, cognition, vision, and ADL performance; treatment = improve UE strength, standing balance, and fine motor coordination with long-term goal for independent bathing and dressing bottom - up
theory: reflex patterns lead to voluntary control, typical sequence and rate of motor development, low-level skills are pre-requisite to higher-level skills neuromaturational theory
limitations of a theory: takes out environment, not only thing influencing development, follows 1 progression neuromaturational theory
skill development begins; stage 1. assist provided by others, stage 2. assistance provided by self, stage 3. internalization and automatic habit formation, stage 4. recursiveness as acquired skill is adapted to new situations influence of social interaction
genetics determine behavior, personality traits, and abilities nature
environment, upbringing, and life experiences determine behavior nurture
how genetics change due to environment epigenetics
theory: genes, environmental, epigenetic factors developmental systems theory
theory: within this framework human development is viewed as constant, fluid, emergent, or nonlinear, and multidetermined; behaviors are self-organizing and emerge according to context; motor control; int. and ext. factors; 4 key aspects dynamic systems theory
key aspect of dynamic systems theory: opposites for motor behavior involve current status of child's body, changes in infants' bodies modify nature of motor behavior embodied
key aspect of dynamic systems theory: environmental circumstances can facilitate or restrict possibilities for motor behavior, motor behavior occurs in a physical environment and variations in environment require infants to adapt embedded
key aspect of dynamic systems theory: social and cultural contexts influence motor behavior, caregivers play important roles in infants' motor development enculturated
key aspect of dynamic systems theory: motor development is not isolated from other aspects of development and it contributes to infants' and kids' development in other domains; gained motor indep. = exploring and learning about the world, promoting dev enabling
reciprocal relationship between perception and action, perceptual systems (senses) adapt to environmental info for actions like crawling and reaching; perception influences action and vice versa perceptual action reciprocity
qualities or properties of an object that suggests how it could be used, based on an individual's abilities and stage of development; cognitive, motor, and social/communication affordance
type of affordance: button can be pressed, handle turned, a car rolled; encourages problem-solving, decision-making, and reasoning skills cognitive
type of affordance: ball affords rolling, throwing, kicking; spoon affords scooping or holding; these skills are refined by understanding what actions different objects hold motor
type of affordance: doll affords pretend play, caregiving, empathy; toy phone affords conversation and language social / communication
ability to recognize and understand objects (size, shape, texture, temp, weight, etc.) through touch; foundational for motor and cognitive development; enhances spatial understanding, visual-motor integration haptic perception
describes how body coordinates muscles and joints to perform efficient, controlled actions; how kids develop ability to move across various tasks and environments; body recruits groups of muscles flexible synergies
theory: family life cycle; recognizes family life cycle as a common process, variations; also recognizes "stressors" are created that require families to adapt; led to developmental transitions within family, roles change; looks at family as a whole family systems theory / systemic family development model
theory: member of family dev systems theories; has a sig impact on health policy in US recently; multidisciplinary paradigm for study of ct's lives, structural contexts, & social change; 4 central principles; guiding framework for maternal & fetal health life course theory
human development occurs over changing times and places, human life occurs within a specific point in time, interplay between human development and social phenomena, choice is a parameter that affects lifelong development central principles of life course theory
part of life course theory: health develops over a lifetime, important to integrate health services and systems across lifespan and generations timeline
part of life course theory: importance of early experiences and exposures during critical periods throughout life in shaping health of individuals and populations, important to provide access to services at critical periods timing
part of life course theory: importance of physical, social, and economic environments in shaping health and disease patterns across populations and communities; important to examine factors such as employment and affordable housing environment
part of life course theory: marked and persistent differences in health across populations/communities is not explained by genetics alone, population-level, and system-level changes needed equity
examples: economic stability, education access and quality, healthcare access and quality, built environment and neighborhood, social and community context social determinants of health
predictor of poor health, primary and secondary, children and youth make up a large part of the world's amount, those experiencing it often feel helpless and isolated poverty and development
examples: home programs, using what they have for treatment; linguistic competence; language; empowered communities; accessible, inclusive healthcare; health literacy reducing health disparities
ability to obtain and understand health info to make decisions health literacy
being aware of one's own world view, develop positive attitudes towards cultural differences, develop skills for communication and interaction across cultures, less used because you can not be fully competent of others cultural competency
personal lifelong commitment to self-eval and self-critique; recognition of power dynamics and imbalances, a desire to fix power imbalances and to develop partnerships with people and groups; institutional accountability; more used cultural humility
explanation of a phenomenon; purpose is to attempt to explain, predict, or control the phenomenon theory
addresses changes that are attributed proportionately more to maturation than to environmental experience developmental theory
amount of influence that genetics has in determining a behavior vs. role of environmental experience, currently accepted that behavior is inevitable a product of both, still debated nature vs. nurture
states that behaviors at a point in time reflect maturational qualities in the individual qualitative
views development as primarily acquisition of a number of skills quantitative
views behavior as sum of number of smaller behavior links reductionist
sees behavior as a total that can't be broken into component parts with meaning nonreductionist
human beings act on the environment and can change environmental circumstance by virtue of that action organismic
human beings react to environment, so environment initiates a behavior mechanistic
affective, cognitive, psychomotor, continuous multi-domain domains of human performance
domain of human performance: characteristics that underlie feeling affective
domain of human performance: development of cognitive functions cognitive
domain of human performance: acquisition of motor behavior psychomotor
domain of human performance: theories of performance that do not fit under a single domain (ex. behaviorism) continuous multi - domain
theory: key aspects are conflict between destructive and loving instincts, child development was viewed as qualitative, dreams are a reflection of unconscious mental processes and interpreted in psychoanalysis Freudian theory
theory: significance - 1 of the first to realize that development was a worthwhile pursuit, impacted other psychologists and future theories, 1 of the first to devote attention to psych of motivation, played a role in evolution of clinical psych Freudian theory
theory: stages - oral (feeding & oral exploration), anal (toilet training, dev of control), phallic (early exploration of genitals & aware of sexual diffs), latency (repress sexual interest, social & intellectual skills), genital (awakening of sexuality) Freudian theory
theory: primarily addresses psychosocial dev.; roots in Freudian theory, but rejected strict biologic approach; dev. is solving a series of conflicts/crises Erikson's theory
theory: stages - trust vs mistrust, autonomy vs shame/doubt, initiative vs guilt, industry vs inferiority, intimacy vs isolation, id vs role confusion, generativity vs stagnation, ego integrity vs despair Erikson's theory
theory: significance - one of the first and few to cover lifespan in stages; incorporated view of culture, society, and their impact on development Erikson's theoy
theory: concept of hierarchal needs - organismic theory, people act according to priority of needs at any given point in time, basic needs (such as food and hunger) must be met before seeking higher-level needs Maslow's theory
theory: concerned with development of higher-level behaviors of morality and social consciousness; stage theory - linear path of development in the individual's moral growth Kohlberg's theory
theory: criticisms - does not represent those with atypical experiences, applicable to moral judgements more than moral behavior, value emphasis on justice over caring, restrictive to morality during time he worked and post-industrial Western cultures Kohlberg's theory
theories: Alexandar Thomas and Stella Chess; ordered, but changing reflection of brain's basic chemical organization; influenced by genetics and environment; current significance supported by neuropharmacology temperament theories
theory: focused on interactions with others in social relationships, studied mother-child interactions, believed an intimate and continuous relationship with mother was necessary for a young kid to develop normal emotional attachments, 3 types Bowlby's theory
theory: categories - secure (happy about return, ideal), avoidant (doesn't seek proximity and avoids when back), and ambivalent (exploratory behavior when present, distressed when leaves, mix of desire for comfort and aggression with return) Bowlby's theory
cognitive domain theory: 4 hierarchical stages of cog. dev., studies were limited to a small racial & cultural sample, rooted in bio but incorporated physical and social environments, disproven, influenced edu. in concepts of active learning and readiness Piaget's theory
cognitive domain theory: emphasized sociocultural influences on cog. dev., zone of proximal dev., scaffolding, continues to be studied and explained today, impact of culture on learning and dev., edu. innovations including group learning and peer teaching Vygotsky's theory
who added the zones of free movement and promoted action to Vygotsky's theory Valsiner
cognitive domain theory: sig impact on American edu. sys., biologic and social, cultural setting is key to understand human mind, school = instrument of social progress with a growth outcome, dev. could be directed, edu. shaped dev. Dewey's theory
psychomotor domain theory: influenced by Darwin & Coghill, heavy influence on peds, maturational theory, contributed developmental quotient, led to publication of large-scale norm of child behavior and dev., basis for many dev. assessments over the years Gesell's theory
part of Gesell's theory: development proceeds in a cephalocaudal direction, proximal to distal, medial to lateral, and up against gravity laws of developmental direction
part of Gesell's theory: initial asymmetry -> symmetry -> assymmetry functional asymmetry
part of Gesell's theory: ability to progress despite adverse circumstances optimal realization
part of Gesell's theory: progressive spiral reincorporation of sequential forms of behavior reciprocal interweaving
which theory was so strong in attributing development to biology that there was a lack of interest in further studying motor development for several decades and was responsible for "wait and see" attitude of professionals Gesell's theory
psychomotor domain theory: considered a maturationist, environment could change influences of developing structures, critical periods (when kids are most receptive and learning behavior is most efficient), supported by plasticity McGraw's theory
theory of motor learning: feedback dependent; sensory feedback guides improvement of motor skill performance; criticisms - some movements occur too rapidly to be modified by feedback and movement production persists even when learning skills is impaired closed loop theory
theory of motor learning: motor response schema (int. and ext. feedback after movement), actual sensory consequences compared to expected sensory consequences, if there is an error detected schema is adjusted open loop theory
theories of motor learning: 3 stages - cognitive (verbal rehearsal), autonomous (automaticity), and associative (feedback, coaching to correct and/or improve motor skill) stage theories
a number of systems act in parallel with elaborate multidirectional communication between neural centers, dynamical systems theory of motor control, explains phenomena motor learning today
cont. multi-domain theory: behaviorism, operant conditioning, learning is conscious, type and rate of response relate to desired outcome, origins in Pavlov's classical conditioning B.F. Skinner's theory
cont. multi-domain theory: antecedent (thing that happens before behavior), behavior (response), and consequence (what happens after behavior, ex. reinforcement or punishment) ABC's of behavior
cont. multi-domain theory: key points - focuses on how kids learn rules and behavior of social functioning, Bandura's theory is tied to concept of modeling, vicarious reinforcement (learning reinforcement by observing others behavior) social learning theory

weight shifts (righting reactions) and development of antigravity control (limb control) building blocks of movement
automatic involuntary motor responses reflexes
theory: Hughlings Jackson proposed that different levels of nervous sys represented different available combos of movement, movement is top-down, critical emergence and integration of primitive and postural reflexes Reflex / Hierarchical Theory
rolling -> sitting -> crawling (army crawl) -> creeping (4 point crawl) -> pull-to-stand -> independent standing -> walking typical advancement of motor milestones
those obligatory responses to stimuli that we are born with, automatic and stereotyped, directed from brainstem, expected to disappear as they are integrated primitive reflexes
rooting (G to 3m), suck swallowing (G to 2-5m), moro (G to 5-6m), palmar grasp (G to 4-6m), plantar grasp (G to 9m), traction response (G to 2-5m), crossed ext. (G to 1-2m), proprioceptic placing response (G to 2m), flexor withdrawal (G to 2mo) examples of primitive reflexes
Galant's response (B to 2m) and spontaneous stepping (B to 2m) examples of primitive reflexes
produce changes in body posturing relative to head position, after integrated they are no longer obligatory in normal developing children but individuals with neural pathology may "fix" in these patterns tonic additudinal reflexes
tone-inducing reflex: 0-2m to 4-6m integrated; stimulus-head rotated to side; response-face side ipsilateral ext., UE/LE contralateral flexion; assists with hand-eye coordination, rolling, and linking dominant hand and eyes Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex
tone-inducing reflex: if not integrated there may be problems with bilateral integration, midline and cross-midline activities, visual-perceptual abilities, may block myelination of corpus callosum, walking, postural stability, reading, handwriting Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex
postural tone reflex: anti-gravity control, 3-4m until 12-24m, breaks up total physiological flexion pattern seen at birth Landau
automatic reactions that allow an individual to maintain stability when changing positions, interaction of 5 orient head in space and body in relationship to head and ground righting reactions
righting reaction: orienting head in space, positions head in response to visual environment, visual vertical orientation, emerges B-2m and persists, receptors-retinas in eyes optical righting reaction
righting reaction: orienting head in space, vestibular vertical orientation, gravity is controlling factors, maintains face in vertical position, elicit by tilting baby, emerges B-2m and persists, receptors-vestibular receptors in inner ear labyrinthine righting reaction
righting reaction: orienting head in space, tactile and proprioception vertical orientation, body on supporting surface, emerges B-2m and persists, receptors-tactile and proprioceptive receptors in neck body - on - head righting reaction
righting reaction: orienting body in relation to head and surface, orients body through cervical afferents, immature-G to 4-6m, mature-4-6m to 5 yrs neck - on - body righting reaction
righting reaction: orienting body in relation to head and surface, essential to development of volunteer rolling; keeps body oriented to surface regardless of position of head; immature-G to 4-6m, mature-4-6m to 5 yrs. body - on - body righting reaction
allows for balance, these reflexes attempt to re-establish center of gravity when thrown off, should persist equilibrium reactions
equilibrium reaction: prone (6m) -> supine (7-8m) -> sitting (7-8m) -> quadruped (9-12m) -> standing (9-12m) postural fixation
equilibrium reaction: control center of gravity in response to tilting surface, counteract; prone (6m) -> supine (7-8m) -> sitting (7-8m) -> standing (12-21m) tilting
equilibrium reaction: protect body from injury during a fall; downward extension (4m) -> forward (6-7m) -> lateral/sideward (7m) -> backward (9-10m) parachute / protective
equilibrium reaction: sideways stepping in response to instability in a lateral direction; LE (15-18m) staggering

ability of an instrument to detect normality (negative finding) specificity
distribution of scores determined from administering a test to a sample representation of those who will be given the test norm
type of measurement: provides us with a standard against which we can compare individual test scores, normal distribution of scores desired, requires diagnostic skills of examiner, not concerned with task analysis, summative norm - referenced / standardized measurement
type of measurement: provides info about abilities regardless of peer performance, pre-specified criteria, cannot qualify kids for school programs, mastery of skills desired, provides info to plan therapy, depends on task analysis, formative criterion - referenced measurement
type of scoring: raw scores has been converted from 1 scale to another, allows us to compare scores received by 1 child to score of other kids, more easily interpreted than raw scores standard scores
mean = 0 SD = 1 indicates number of SD units score falls above/below mean z = (x - X)/5 OR z = (DQ - 100)/15 z scores
mean = 50 SD = 10 scale ranges from 5 SD below 5 SD above, no negative value T = 10z +50 OR z = (T-50)/10 T scores
mean = 100 SD = 15 examples of use - IQ testing, Peabody Developmental Motor Scales DQ = 15z + 100 deviation quotient
