10 Questions
Neuronal Group Selection Theory (NGST) emphasizes genetics as the sole factor in the development of infant gross motor skills.
False
Infant motor solutions are fixed and not influenced by any factors.
False
According to NGST, movement in infants occurs mainly through individual muscle actions.
False
Primary movement variability in infants is influenced by genetics.
True
Secondary movement patterns in infants are solely a result of genetic factors.
False
Maturation of movement in infants results from coordination among musculoskeletal and neurological systems.
True
Infants always exhibit the same movement patterns regardless of the task or environment.
False
NGST serves as a bridge between the NMT and DST frameworks in understanding infant motor development.
True
Infant motor development is not influenced by afferent stimulation from the environment.
False
Variability in secondary movement patterns in infants is solely due to internal afferent information.
False
Learn about the 3 patterns of motor skill emergence in infants through longitudinal observation, from reflexive to voluntary, cephalocaudal, and proximal to distal. Understand how purposeful movements develop in a predictable sequence.
