Question

which of the following is an example of the \simple to complex\ principle of development? answers a - d
a the prenatal or fetal period of development
b a child learns their numbers before learning simple math functions
c a child displays equal range of motion of both upper extremities
d a child gains control of their head before their extremeties

Explanation:

The "simple to complex" principle in development refers to learning or developing from basic to more advanced concepts or skills. A child learning numbers (simple) before simple math functions (complex) is an example of this principle. Option A is a stage of development, not an example of the principle. Option C is about motor - function symmetry. Option D is about the cephalocaudal principle (head - to - toe development).

Answer:

B. A child learns their numbers before learning simple math functions
