What is the principle of growth that follows a pattern that begins with the center of the body and proceeds outwards to the extremities?

The cephalocaudal trend, or cephalocaudal gradient of growth, refers to the pattern of changing spatial proportions over time during growth. One example of this is the gradual change in head size relative to body size during human growth. During prenatal growth, from conception to 5 months, the head grows more than the body. In humans, the head comprises almost 50% of total body length at approximately the third month of intrauterine development. By the time of birth the head has decreased to approximately 30% of total body length as a result of the limbs and trunk growing faster than the head. This trend continues postnatally along an axis of increased growth from the head to the feet. Finally, in adults, the head represents approximately 12% of the body length. The cephalocaudal trend is also the trend of infants learning to use their upper limbs before their lower limbs. The proximodistal trend, on the other hand, is the prenatal growth from 5 months to birth when the fetus grows from the inside of the body outwards. When referring to motor development, the proximodistal trend refers to the development of motor skills from the center of the body outwards. Show

Last updated on Sep 21, 2022 The NCTE (National Council for Teacher Education) has revised the TET eligibility criteria recently and has issued a notification stating that a candidate who has been admitted or undergoing any of the Teacher Training Courses (TTC) is eligible for appearing in the TET Examination. Candidates appearing for the CTET (Central Teacher Eligibility Test) are exempted from any age limit. They have to just satisfy the required educational qualification. Candidates are qualified for the CTET exam based on their results in the written exam. The written exam will consist of Paper 1 and Paper 2 in which candidates have to score a minimum of 60% marks to qualify. Check out the CTET Selection Process here. What is the name of the principle that states that growth follows a pattern that begins with the head and upper body parts and then proceeds down to the rest of the body?cephalocaudal principle the principle that growth follows a pattern that begins with the head and upper body parts and then proceeds down to the rest of the body.
Which principle describes a pattern of development that proceeds from the center of the body outward?2. Development proceeds from the center of the body outward. This is the principle of proximodistal development that also describes the direction of development. This means that the spinal cord develops before outer parts of the body.
What are the principles of growth?There are three principles of growth and development: the cephalocaudal principle, the proximodistal principle, and the orthogenetic principle. These predictable patterns of growth and development allow us to predict how and when most children will develop certain characteristics.
What is the Cephalocaudal principle?Definition. The cephalocaudal principle refers to the general pattern of physical and motoric development followed from infancy into toddlerhood and even early childhood whereby development follows a head-to-toe progression.
