Document Summary
Chapter 9 independent questions: physical changes, growth and motor development. In contrast to early childhood (2-6 year olds), elementary aged children (6-12 year olds) are more competent at large muscle activities like bike riding, which require both strength and speed. What are boys (on average) slightly better at than girls? girls to be better coordinated but slower and somewhat weaker than boys. Thus, girls outperform boys in activities requiring coordinated movement, and boys do better when strength and speed are advantages: the brain and nervous system. In middle childhood, there are two neurological growth spurts: one occurs between the ages of 6-8 and the other between the ages of 10-12. How do these two growth spurts differ with respect to: (a) the primary sites in the brain that are developing in each growth spurt. The primary sites of brain growth during the first spurt are the sensory and motor areas.
