Document Summary

Sds150r - lecture 9 - physical and cognitive development in middle childhood. B/w ages 6-12 = children grow 5-8 cms and add about 2. 75 kgs. each year. Large muscle coordination improves (bike riding, strength and speed = increase) Myenilization = occurs rapidly in sensory and motor areas (why there are improvements in fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination) Association areas: parts of the brain where sensory, motor, and intellectual functions are linked (myenilized to some degree entering middle childhood) increase in info. processing speed. Immunization: must be reviewed, 5-13 should be vaccinated from hepatitis b if missed. Unintentional injuries: common cause of death (30%) 14 years old and younger due to motor vehicle crashes, drowning. Healthy bodies and weights: another significant risk = unhealthy body weights. 18% (6-11 years old) = considered overweight, 8% are obese. Middle childhood years = correctly use tenses, maintain topic of convo, how to speak politely/persuasively.
