Study Notes

Cephalocaudal Pattern

Earliest growth in humans occurs in the head, followed by the rest of the body.

Head Growth

The head grows faster than the lower parts of the body.
This is because the brain is located in the head.

Motor Skills Development

Infants develop motor skills from the head down.
This means that they learn to control their head and neck muscles first, then their arms and torso, and finally their legs and feet.

Infant-Toy Interaction

One study found that infants prefer to look at and interact with colorful and patterned toys.
The study also found that infants use their hands and mouths to explore objects.
The first body part infants use to touch toys is their hands.
