Document Summary
Ongoing from conception to end of life. Characterized by periods of rapid growth and plateaus. Growth and development follow and orderly pattern: Influenced by factors such as genetics, environment, and nutrition: cephalocaudal: starts at the head and moves downward, proximodistal: starts in the center and processes to the periphery, differentiation: simple to complex progression of achievement of developmental milestones. Sensorimotor: birth to 2 years: the child learns through motor and reflex actions, the child learns that he or she is separate from the environment and others. Stage 1: reflexes- birth to 2 months. Understands the environment purely through inborn reflexes such as sucking. Stage 2: primary circular reactions-1 to 4 months. Stage 3: secondary circular reactions- 4 to 8 months. Child focuses on environment, and begins to repeat actions that trigger a response. Stage 4: coordination of secondary schemata- 8 to 12 months. To achieve a desired effect, the child will repeat the action.
