    Infants develop gross and fine motor functions in precise and predictable patterns. Which words below describe those patterns? (select all that apply)

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Development typically progresses from the head (top) to the feet (bottom), reflecting a cephalocaudal pattern. B. This statement is inaccurate; development is not characterized by functional to nonfunctional but rather by increasing complexity. C. This pattern is incorrect; development does not proceed from outside to inside but instead follows a different trajectory. D. The development pattern from the center (proximal) to the periphery (distal) is known as the proximodistal pattern of development. E. This statement is not correct; development does not follow a bottom-to-top pattern. F. Development does move from simple skills to more complex skills as infants grow. G. Growth and development indeed follow a pathway from general skills to more specific tasks as children refine their abilities.
