Document Summary

The and experiential background, as well as the specific demands of the movement tasks, have a profound effect on the rate of the rudimentary movement abilities of infancy. During the attainment of period, movement is ill defined and poorly controlled; reflexes are gradually inhibited and the reflex inhibition stage begins neonatal the. This period stretches throughout most of the infant"s first year. As the primitive and postural reflexes of the previous phase begin to fade, higher brain centers take over many of the skeletal muscle functions of lower brain centers. The reflex inhibition stage essentially begins at birth. The infant begins to bring movements under control during precontrol period. Spans roughly the period between the first ad second birthdays. The infant begins to gain greater control and precision in movement. Differentiation and integration of sensory and motor processes become more highly developed. The most comprehensive on sequence of the emergence of the voluntary grasping behavior during infancy.
