Flashcard 1: What is the expected language milestone at about 9 months of age?
Answer: Responds to name; understands "no". Cognitive growth enables recognition of familiar words and simple commands, supporting receptive language.
Flashcard 2: What is the expected social milestone at about 18 months of age?
Answer: Temper tantrums may occur. Autonomy-seeking behavior manifests as emotional outbursts when frustrated, part of normal individuation.
Flashcard 3: What is the expected gross motor milestone at about 6 months of age?
Answer: Sits with minimal support. Improved core strength supports sitting with assistance, facilitating better visual and social engagement.
Flashcard 4: Which type of play is most characteristic of toddlers (ages 1 to 3 years)?
Answer: Parallel play. Toddlers play alongside peers without direct interaction, developing social awareness through observation.
Flashcard 5: What is the expected gross motor milestone at about 9 months of age?
Answer: Crawls and pulls to stand. Advancing leg and arm coordination allows creeping and using furniture for support to achieve standing.
Flashcard 6: What is the expected fine motor milestone at about 9 months of age?
Answer: Uses an immature pincer grasp. Refining thumb-forefinger opposition enables crude grasping of small objects, enhancing exploration.
Flashcard 7: What is the expected gross motor milestone at about 18 months of age?
Answer: Runs and climbs stairs with hand held. Increased leg strength and balance support running and assisted stair climbing for greater mobility.
Flashcard 8: What is the expected gross motor milestone at about 15 months of age?
Answer: Walks independently. Enhanced coordination and confidence enable unassisted walking, promoting exploration and autonomy.
Flashcard 9: What is the expected fine motor milestone at about 12 months of age?
Answer: Uses a neat pincer grasp. Maturing dexterity supports precise pinching, facilitating self-feeding and fine object handling.
Flashcard 10: What is the expected language milestone at about 6 months of age?
Answer: Babbles (repetitive sounds). Neurological maturation allows repetitive syllable production, practicing speech patterns and social interaction.
Flashcard 11: What is the expected language milestone at about 2 months of age?
Answer: Coos. Vocal cord development produces cooing sounds as early social communication and response to stimuli.
Flashcard 12: What is the expected social milestone at about 2 months of age?
Answer: Social smile. Emotional development triggers smiling in response to social cues, fostering caregiver bonding.
Flashcard 13: What is the expected language milestone at about 2 years of age?
Answer: Two-word phrases; about 50 words. Language expansion combines words into phrases with a growing vocabulary for better communication.
Flashcard 14: What is the expected language milestone at about 12 months of age?
Answer: Says 1 to 3 words with meaning. Vocabulary emergence includes meaningful single words, reflecting expressive language development.
Flashcard 15: What is the expected fine motor milestone at about 6 months of age?
Answer: Transfers objects hand to hand. Developing hand-eye coordination allows passing items between hands, aiding in object manipulation and learning.
Flashcard 16: What is the expected gross motor milestone at about 2 months of age?
Answer: Lifts head and chest when prone. Early neck muscle strength allows infants to briefly elevate head and chest in prone position for environmental interaction.
Flashcard 17: What is the expected social milestone at about 9 months of age?
Answer: Stranger anxiety. Attachment formation leads to distress with unfamiliar people, indicating healthy emotional bonds.
Flashcard 18: What is the expected gross motor milestone at about 12 months of age?
Answer: Stands alone and may take first steps. Balance and muscle development permit independent standing and initial walking attempts around the first birthday.
Flashcard 19: What is the expected gross motor milestone at about 4 months of age?
Answer: Rolls from prone to supine. Developing trunk control enables rolling over, marking progression in mobility and exploration.
