Questions and Answers

What is the primary difference between cephalocaudal and proximodistal growth patterns?

Cephalocaudal refers to emotional growth, while proximodistal refers to cognitive growth.

Cephalocaudal refers to growth from head to toe, whereas proximodistal refers to growth from the center of the body outward. (correct)

Cephalocaudal is related to muscle growth, whereas proximodistal is related to bone development.

Cephalocaudal focuses on the development of fine motor skills, while proximodistal focuses on gross motor skills.

Which of the following reflexes is classified as a postural reflex?

Moro reflex (correct)

Palmar grasp reflex

Plantar grasp reflex

None of the above
