1. This refers to quantitative changes in an organism. This usually involves permanent increase
in size and structure of organisms. These quantitative changes are both physical and mental.

A. Development

B. Growth

C. Maturation

D. None of the above

The answer is growth because growth refers to the quantitative changes in an

organism that involves changes in height, weight, girth, mental changes in reasoning. On
the contrary, development, refers to the qualitative changes in humans and is a result of
accumulation of experiences while maturation refers to the process of gradual unfolding
of the inborn potentialities of traits present in the individual because of hereditary
endowment.

2. Experience is not necessary to these functions as they are time, age and physical and mental
maturity dependent. What function is this?

A. Maturation

B. Phylogenetic functions

C. Growth

D. Ontogenetic functions

The answer is phylogenetic functions. These are functions, which are common to
all members of a species. These include crawling, creeping, sitting, walking, etc. Whereas
in ontogenetic function, These depend on experience. They are functions common to
individuals. Some of these functions are swimming, climbing, painting, speech, etc. Here,
without experience or training, development can not take place. While maturation is the
process of gradual unfolding of the inborn potentialities of traits present in the individual.
 Lastly, growth refers to quantitative changes in an organism. This usually involves
permanent increase in size and structure of organisms.

3. The child is first able to see, hear sound and jingles before using his hands and legs in a
meaningful way. What principle of development is being described?

A. Cephalocaudal growth patterns

B. Proxismodistal growth pattern

C. The Principle Of Differentiation

D. None of the above

The answer is cephalocaudal growth patterns. According to this principle,

development spread over the body from head to foot. This means that improvement in
structures and functions come first in the head area, then in the trunk and leg region.
While in proximodistal growth patterns holds that development proceeds from the central
axis of the body towards the extremities. Lastly, the principle of differentiation
deevelopment proceeds from simple to complex, from h omogenous to heterogeneous
and from general to specific.

4. In this function, without experience or training, development can not take place. What
function is this?

A. Development

B. Ontogenetic functions

C. Phylogenetic functions

D. None of the aforementioned

functions common to individuals. Some of these functions are swimming, climbing,
painting, speech, etc. While in phylogenetic functions experience is not necessary. Lastly,

every individual is unique that there are no two people that are exactly alike. Whereas
cephalocaudal growth patterns development spread over the body from head to foot. This
means that improvement in structures and functions come first in the head area, then in
the trunk and leg region. Lastly, proxismodistal growth patterns holds that development
proceeds from the central axis of the body towards the extremities.
