Answer to Question 1

Differentiation refers to the ability to distinguish and master individual motions, while integration involves linking individual motions into a coherent, coordinated whole. These two concepts come from dynamic systems theory that suggests a complex skill, such as walking, comes from the individual mastery of components of that complex skill. Children must first differentiate standing, balancing, and coordination before they will be able to combine (integrate) those skills and learn to walk. Students may point out that the textbook suggests that this integration typically occurs between the ages of 12 and 15 months.

Answer to Question 2

True
