  1. How Babies Learn … Margo Prim Haynes, PT, DPT, MA, PCS Mary Rose Franjoine, PT, DPT, MS, PCS 2009

  2. Assignment: Study Guide Learning Activity 1.4.3 pg 54

  3. Full Term Babies born with …. • Physiological flexion

  4. Biomechanically • Biomechanically extensors are ready to work before flexors

  5. Development Follows a Predictable Sequence : Extension  Flexion  Balanced extension & flexion  Lateral flexion  Rotation

  6. Planes of Movement Sagittal Plane Frontal / Coronal Plane Transverse Plane

  7. Development progresses… Mass Movement Cephalo- Caudal Refined Movement Caudal - Cephalo

  8. Control of Movement… • Progresses from proximal to distal & from distal to proximal.

  9. Development is … • Influenced by: • Genetics: • Environment • Culture • Growth • Maturation

  10. How Babies Learn • Each baby is unique • Variation within the process exist • Body Size & Body Type • Psychosocial • Environment

  11. Practice, Practice, Practice • Variety • Busy • Blocked vs Random • Part vs Whole

  12. Feedback • Intrinsic • Extrinsic

  13. Change • Performance: temporary • Motor learning: relatively permanent
