Cards

Term
Theories of Development
Definition
Neural-maturational
Psychoanalytic
Cognitive
- behavioral
- cognitive development
Dynamic Systems
Term
Neural-Maturational Model
Definition
Nature
hierarchial maturation of NS
Rx: inhibit primitive reflexes
Term
Behavioral Theory
Definition
behavior is learned by positive and negative reinforcement (nature)
- environment shapes motor and cognitive development
PT: behavior modificationMR children and learning motor skills
Term
Cognitive Development
Definition
-interaction between maturation and environment
- sensorimotor (repetition), pre-operational(language), concrete operational (reversible thought), formal operations (abstract)
PT: age appropriate tasks
Term
Dynamic Systems Theory
Definition
1) behavior is task specific (internal + external)
2) certain components constrain behavior because infant's dont develop at the same rate
3) motor pattern formed by mechanical, neurological, cognitive and perceptual factors as well as the task and context
4) Transitional Periods: sensetive periods
Term
Principles of Development
Definition
1. Developmental milestones- Rate changes not sequence
2. rapid change, disorganization, regression
3. areas are inter-related
Term
Developmental Patterns
Definition
1. Proximodistal
2. Cephalocaudal
3. Extensor before Flexor
4. Gross motor before fine
5. stability before mobility
Term
Nagi Model of Disablement
Definition
(1) Pathophysiology
(2) Impairments
(3) Functional Limitations
(4) Disabilities - not age appropriate
(5) Societal Limitations - physical , legal, societal
-- External and internal modifiers
Term
ICF
Definition
1) Health Condition
2) Body function and structure
3) activities
4) participation
-- environmental and personal factors
Term
Purpose of Assessment
Definition
- determine who needs further assessment (screening)
- diagnosis
- determine placement or eligibility for services
- plan intervention and goals
- determine progress
- research
- determine efficacy of programming
Term
Norm Referenced
Definition
sample of children representative of the population to be tested
- not related to therapeutic/instructional content
Term
Criterion Referenced
Definition
Compares performance against a desired standard
-- track progress
-- successive performance of one individual
Term
Validity
Definition
Construct- items represent theoretical basis of trait
Content- instrument accureately represents theoretical basis of the trait
Concurrent- two instruments correlate well at measuring the same thing
predictive
Term
Reliability
Definition
internal consistency- degree to which all items are measuring the same concept
Standard error of measurement- used to develop a probable range of scores to indicate "true" ability
Term
Sensitivity
Definition
ability of the instrument to detect dysfunction/abnormality
Term
Specificity
Definition
detect normality
Term
scalability
Definition
detect change?
Term
Scaled Scores
Definition
use table to convert to scaled scores, no age distinctions, TRACK progress over time
Term
Standard Scores
Definition
performance compared to population
Term
Treatment Efficacy
Definition
achieving goals
attaining functional outcomes
promoting health
preventing disability
