Typical Development

---

1.  What is the first part of the brain to fully mature? The Cerebellum The Midbrain The Brain Stem The Cortex

2.  A normal vaginal birth is important for brain development because it: Produces hormones that calm the nervous system. Stimulates infant reflexes. Stimulates growth of the cortex. Stimulates growth of the cerebellum.

3.  The brain stem is closely connected to which body system(s)? The visual system The vestibular system The auditory system All of the above

4.  The brain develops ______________________. From the top down Through movement and interaction with the environment In separate, distinct sections All of the above

5.  The brain stem regulates _____________________. Infant reflexes Adult reflexes Rational thinking Emotion regulation

6.  Infant reflexes ___________________________. Help the infant survive outside the womb Assist with the birth process Help develop the visual system All of the above

7.  The brain develops in what order? Brain stem, cerebellum, cortex Brain stem, cortex, cerebellum Cortex, cerebellum, brain stem Cerebellum, brain stem, cortex

8.  The brain and the body: Are completely connected and interdependent Develop separately in alternating chunks Should be viewed as distinct, separate entities Are connected solely by the reflex system

9.  Which reflex helps the birth process go smoothly but also the process of normal birth helps to stimulate and strengthen them? Tonic Labyrinthine Reflex (TLR) Spinal Galant Reflex Asymmetric Tonic Neck Reflex (ATNR) All of the above

10.  The first set of reflexes that develop during pregnancy are called: Primitive reflexes Infant reflexes Intrauterine reflexes Postural reflexes
