A
Feedback
A By age 7 months, infants can transfer objects from one hand to the other,
crossing the midline.
B The crude pincer grasp is apparent at approximately age 9 months.
C The child can scribble spontaneously at age 15 months.
D At age 12 months, the child can release cubes into a cup.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback
A This is indicative of normal development. Reflexive grasping occurs during the
first 2 to 3 months and then gradually becomes voluntary.
B The infant is expected to be able to perform this task by age 3 months. If the
child's age is corrected because of being 2 weeks preterm, the child is at the
midpoint of the range for this developmental task.
C The infant is expected to be able to perform this task by age 3 months. If the
child's age is corrected because of being 2 weeks preterm, the child is at the
midpoint of the range for this developmental task.
D The child is age-appropriate. No evidence of neurologic dysfunction is present.
