Color Perception
The ability of the eyes to distinguish among different colors
Form Perception
The ability to distinguish shapes
Maturational Period
-1930s-1940s
-Gesell and McGraw
-Biological function
-Sequence of infant movement is due to their work
-Process
Descriptive Period
-19502-1970s
-Glassow, Rarick, and Espenschade

-Product
-School age
Explanatory Period
-1980s-Present
-Shift back to Process
-Thelen, Clark
-Dynamical Systems Theory
McGraws Experiment
-Worked with twins
-Trained one each day with activities (improved and was better than the other one)
-Untrained one was worse results and was weaker
Phase Stage Theory (Product)
-Oldest Theory
-Universal age periods characterized by certain types of behavior
-Stages are sequential, but can be skipped
Development Task Theory
-Developmental task must be accomplished within a specified time period for success within society and higher level functionioning
-Questionable validity
Ecological Theory
-Descriptive and explanatory
-Development occurs as a function of environmental "context" and time frame
-Studies relationship of an individual to their environment and one another
Dynamic Systems Theory (Process)
-Change is nonlinear (Discontinuous)
-Change is governed by afforandances, rate limiters, and constraints
-Change is self-organizing
-Change is transactional
-Change involves degrees of freedom
Reflexive Movement Phase
