Child using whole arm movement in writing before he uses his fingers in holding a pen or pencil is indicative of

  • A.Proximo - Distal Principle
  • B.Cephalo - Caudal Principle
  • C.Specific movement
  • D.Neural control

Answer: A

Using the whole arm in writing before using the fingers shows the proximo-distal principle.

Development proceeds from the centre of the body outwards: control of the shoulder and arm comes before that of the hand and fingers. The cephalo-caudal principle describes development from head to foot, so it does not apply to a movement from arm to fingers. Specific movement and neural control are not names of the developmental principles in question.
