Cephalocaudal pattern Earliest growth always occurs at the top, gradually working its way down Proximodistal pattern Growth that proceeds from the middle of the body and moves outward Dynamic Systems theory Motor behaviors are assembled by receiving & then acting. (EX: A baby will not walk unless both his legs are strong enough & he has the desire to do so.)

Early adulthood is not the endpoint of development; no age period dominates development Development is multidimensional Has biological, cognitive, and socioemotional dimensions development is multidirectional Some dimensions expand and others shrink Development is plastic The capacity for change what does it mean when ...
