Document Summary
What theories can you best use to explain what happens in the developmental stages. Motor development driven by maturation of systems (nature: specifically, the central nervous system (predominant driver in how we development from a motor perspective, described as internal or innate" process driven by biology. Characteristics of motor development: qualitative, discontinuous (not one continuous phase without breaks there are breaks in our development over time) Suggested invariable, genetically determined sequence of development (individuals can have unique timing: took away the control of the environment and outside influences. Research: co-twin control strategy: took twins at birth and tried to enhanced one of their motor skills and not the others, results equivocal. Tried to show that there wasn"t much difference. Can try to enhance ones motor skill and not the other and there is really no difference doesn"t matter what you do in the external environment and it will still be the same.
