Powerpoint presentation

2. The human brain begins to
develop during the third week of
conception and continuously
develops at least until late
adolescence, and some argue that
it continues to develop throughout
life.

3. The brain undergoes 3
processes:
-synaptogenesis
-myelination
-pruning
Didyouknow?

4. During brain development, connections are
formed between cells that are being used. We
are born with more brain cells (neurons) than
what we actually need.
Since different parts of the brain have
different roles, with each part of the brain
doing something different, they have to spend
electrical signals to other parts of the brain
and work together to perform complex tasks.

5. "STRESS
"

6. With the influx oh hormones,
the brain becomes very
sensitive to new experiences,
like rewards, novelty, and
social experience.
Lots of impulsivity and
emotional arousal, yet the
ability to regulate the arousal
is not yet developed.
ADOLESCENT BRAIN

7. REMEMBER:
Brains are not just formed,
they are also built over time
based on one's experiences.
WHAT CAN GO WRONG?

8. INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES
Individual differences can be brought about
by genes and experiences.
Experiences can affect how the brain develops
due to brain plasticity or the ability of the
brain to change bot structure and function as
a result of experience.

9. Motor
Development

10. The part that has an important role in
motor control is the CEREBELLUM
(little brain).
If there is any dysfunction in the
cerebellum, signs will be seen in motor
development.

11. Motor development is
related to cognitive and
socioemotional development
as well.

12. Perception is the ability to see, hear, or
become aware of something through our
senses.
The ability to recognize sensory stimuli is
the basis for understanding, learning,
and knowing how to react.

13. Patterns
Motor development moves in a:
a. Cephalocaudal pattern (head to foot).
b. Proximodistal (center of the body
outward to the extremities

15. Newborns learns to develop responses
to any external stimulus.
• GRASP REFLEX
• STARTLE REFLEX
NEWBORN

16. Variation helps develop a repertoire of
efficient functional movements ans=d
allows for variability, which is knowing
what movement to do in a certain
situation.
INFANT

17. ort
• 3-6 months
-able to control the head and
starts playing with the hands and legs.

with support.
INFANT

18. ort
• Can walk by himself/herself.

capable of communicating. "NO"
• continues to go through emotinal
development.
TODDLER

19. ort
• Most children enter school.
• Develops the GROSS AND FINE
motor skills.
• Continues to develop cognitively,
developing math skills, language and
reading.
PRESCHOOLER

20. ort
• Starts to assert independence at
home and in school.
• Parents and teachers instill good
values.
• The child should learn to make "good
choices".
SCHOOL AGE

21. ort

motor skills even unto their early 20s.
• Girls make modest gains in gorss
and fine motor skills until around the
age of 14.
