| A) | When an infant stops breathing and dies suddenly.
|
| B) | Motor skills that involve finely tuned movements, for example, finger dexterity.
|
| C) | Recovery of a habituated response after a change in stimulation.
|
| D) | Built-in reactions to stimuli that govern the newborn’s movements, which are automatic and beyond the newborn’s control.
|
| E) | Built-in reaction in newborn that causes it to turn its head toward the side that was touched, in an apparent effort to find something to suck.
|
| F) | The sequence in which growth starts at the center of the body and moves toward the extremities.
|
| G) | Motor skills that involve large-muscle activities, such as walking.
|
| H) | Response that occurs when infant’s palms are touched; infant responds by grasping tightly.
|
| I) | Specialization of function in one hemisphere of the cerebral cortex or the other.
|
| J) | A newborn’s built-in reaction to automatically suck an object placed in its mouth. The sucking reflex enables it to get nourishment before it has associated a nipple with food.
|
| K) | The interpretation of what is sensed.
|
| L) | Sequence in which the earliest growth always occurs at the top—the head—with physical growth in size and weight and feature differentiation gradually working from top to bottom.
|
| M) | A wasting away of body tissues in the infant’s first year, caused by severe protein–calorie deficiency.
|
| N) | Refers to the recognition that an object remains the same even though the retinal image of the object changes.
|
| O) | Opportunities for interaction that are offered by objects that are necessary to perform functional activities.
|
| P) | A condition caused by a deficiency in protein in which the child's abdomen and feet become swollen with water; usually appears 1 to 3 years of age.
|
| Q) | Product of the interaction between information and the sensory receptors—the eyes, ears, tongue, nostrils, and skin.
|
| R) | Refers to the recognition that an object’s shape remains the same even though its orientation changes.
|
| S) | Decreased responsiveness to a stimulus after repeated presentation of the stimulus.
|
| T) | The ability to relate and integrate information from two or more sensory modalities, such as vision and hearing.
|
| U) | The perspective on motor development that seeks to explain how motor behaviors are assembled for perceiving and acting.
|
| V) | A neonatal startle response that occurs in reaction to sudden, intense noise, causing infant to arch its back, throw its head back, and fling out its arms and legs.
|
| W) | Theory that perception functions to bring organisms in contact with the environment and to increase adaptation.
|
| X) | Research procedure used to determine whether infants can distinguish one stimulus from another.
